Popular Post Gerald Posted January 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I do the audio/visual program for our turning club and we upgraded the computer from laptop to desktop last year (cheaper to upgrade a desktop than a gaming laptop) and have had it stored in a plastic box along with a box I made for the cameras and auxiliary cables. Carrying that big tub even with a folding cart was just a pain so I designed a box for it. The box is padded with carpet I have had for about 25 years (came out of a drugstore) . The latches are matched so lid can be put on either direction without causing a bind. To install I put latches (2 piece) on one side then reversed the top and put on half the latch on both sides (top on one and bottom on the other) to match. The top is divided for cameras and other items. What you cannot see in this is that there is a double support on the near side to lock the top in. The top locks in with these swing arms and is secure to turn over keeping items in place. There is foam on top and bottom of the camera compartment. Paint is acrylic lacquer. p_toad, FlGatorwood, Gunny and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 That's a really great design! I like the way you made the swing arms to latch the storage cover. Cal, FlGatorwood and Dadio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpadave52 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Very functional design and secure design. Nicely done. Before you put it into service, you should stencil or paint the club's name/logo on it. That would be cool.

Gerald Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Thought about putting name on it but it reside at my home so plenty of time to do that later. Just glad to get these projects done before we start meeting at the new place. Artie and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
