has anyone made anything to fit their tool boxes?
i fancy and end cabinet but cant justify the £700 price tag!
i reckon i could make a nice strong one myself.
im thinking of making the frame from 25mm x 25mmx 2.5mm box section mild steel
its got to be about 127 cm tall as this is the length of my box from base to top with lid unclosed.
and i think about 67 cm2 wide.
unsure yet as wether to get 1mm thick stainless sheet or mild steel sheet for the sides.
Then i will need to make a door with some nice hinges. and a lock.
I cant work out weather to follow the design of the snap on end cabs witch hang on the bottom roll cab top lip and bolt to it.
my design may be a little heavy so i may include some wheels to aid carrying the weight.
the tool boxes seem to be well built and can carry alot of weight, i have a 25kg super winch in the bottem draw ha.
