so Sunday night lets talk cases......

Fishing tackle box or maybe storage box with a lock from b and q... oh come on please let's get with it.....

Ok convert a flight case then wise arse..

Right upon this night is fight club on the DVD "working jobs we hate to buy shit we don't need". ( unless it's a case that is)

First we need a small flight case

Let's start lining it in oak

The oak must be planed to reduce the weight


See the slots those are for you mods the middle is a tray with proper 510 connections the far side has a lid for storage the lid is clamped shut by the lid of the case

Now let's do some fine edges on the oak to give it a bit more va voom

Holes are for 510 connectors x 6

The top lid has a space hmmmm how about a removable leather tray snap fastener it to the lid cut the leather and sew some elastic for coil twizzers etc

See the foam that clamps onto your mods

The finished case with some stickers the outside is worn and has marks as it's a flight case

Forgot to mention the inside is baize lined the case is designed so you put you mods in the slots the foam clamps them down so not to damage them the atty goes in the stands the juice you put in the tray with the lid your tools go in the elastic holders on the leather ' ' 'Why' you ask.... so nothing moves when you carry it about do you want you mods banging into each other??

Now that is an item of beauty, I can appreciate a decent bit of workmanship and that looks mighty fine to me, just wish I had the readies at the minute, someone is going to well pleased when the postie arrives
 
How much does it weigh?
With all that wood in going to be heavy before you start.. Lufthansa allow 8 kg carry on... I tend to pud everything heavy in my pockets then after check in put it back in the flight bag..dont need that much room for travelling abroad TBH... good for vape meets...
