Re: My Road Box MORE PICS ADDED
OK as promised more pics.
NUTTSGT you asked about mods done to my box. Here is the 2 Geneva boxes I added to it. I also added some cheap door/gate locks in a pinch to prevent the drawers from sliding open while parked on a incline and I figured out quickly that it help the drawers stay in place while accelerating and braking.
As I said earlier I added a HF 44 bottom box and park it beside my box which sets on a heavy duty steel roll around. Then I have my teardown table on the left side
Its a pain in the *** to move it all around the shop since there are no assigned bays but you do what you got to do.
OK now the good stuff.
Here is the two boxes me and my youngest son built together that we sold. One red, one black. They are identical, except color, and the owner of the black box showed me how he wanted his socket and wrench organizers mounted and I did that for him. He also wanted his top door to open as far up as it would go. He did not like how the front cover set low and straight like the red one, so I made adjustment to the mounting location of the gas shocks to raise it up.
Here is where you can tell the difference in the front covers.
Lids Closed
Backsides
Top Drawer open with liners installed
This is the style of drawer lock that they agreed on. The bigger handles make it easier to lock/unlock especially when you are wearing gloves, or your hands are greasy. I think the black lock on the red drawers look good.
I owe half the credit, if not more, to my 16 year old son who put in just as much time as I did on these. I paid him half of the profit on these boxes because he earned it. He did the majority of the fit and finish on them. He is very particular in his work and it showed. Words cant expressed as to how proud I am of him and what he can do at such a young age. I might add that he is pretty dam good with a set of wrenches as well. Last summer he drove around in a big GMC topkick hauling fuel, welding up broke ****, and helping me catch up on repairs when I was still working on the farm. So I will toot his horn once more and post these two pics up as they are the only ones I have on my laptop
Comments welcome, good or bad....
