Very useful content. I think most mechanics are frustrated with the tool boxes and/or trays that are available for purchase. Making a custom one is definitely worth the time and effort. Thanks very much.
Everyone is going to be fighting for the blue one now! That turned out awesome, great idea! And I will be giving that paint a try if I can find some down here…
mig down is the best option here. starting at the open end towards your base of the tray would be best because it has the least material to sink the heat from your weld
Well done ! Perhaps a handle made of pipe would have been more convenient to use on the tool box, the sheet metal strip for lifting the box has a sharp edge.
That a boy ....build to spec...ur spec ...hate that crap most tools stores sell....that's how i do it also...could probably buy it for half of what it cost an a lot less time ....but that's perfectly OK....built to my spec..👍..rite Scott ..?
Looks completely misdesigned. Why isn't the length of tray based on the socket rack length. Why not drill through the bottom under the socket rack bottom, then spot weld it from the bottom side? The handle needs to be like 1/8" flat stock up and a handle of 3/8 blk. pipe or equivilent. Always sand the welded item (removing dips and rises caused from welding) with a hand held sander before painting. Glad this works for you - just could have been so much better.

yeah, the blue box will definitely be the most used one now. however the grey one will be a close 2nd. I won't miss my red one anymore.
Good job mate !
Thank you
Nice and simple. Gonna steal this

Is that a made in England blue bench vise?
It sure is. They are the best.
@@simcoespring I agree
Brilliant
thank you. one of my favorite builds so far
This turned out awesome! I cant wait to make one.. can you link the socket sets you bought?
it was a custom set that i bought from snap-on, then added a whole bunch of sockets and wrenches to it to complete the set.

The handle snaps and your playing 52 pickup

Look into a cheap tong spot welder...you over killed the welding imo.
