Custom hard case for my Etrac. MUST SEE!

Awesome

That is awesome.
Ive been thinking about making a box for my Mxt.
That I can use on the 4 wheeler.
and possibly throw in a pannier, (for horse packin)
I was thinking of building out of wood, but the thought of a horse bangin up against a tree, well, I didnt figure wood would be strong enough.
I actually gave the Gfriends dad one of those tool boxes for Christmas 2 yaers ago, and heck yeah!
It looked and felt strong, and waterproof.
Thanks for posting , I think I'm going to follow your lead .
Thanks
Dusty
 
Very nice job on the box but I have to ask what kind of storage unit you have that things would roll around in? :?:
 
Stanley 028001L box, I think

I probably looked at this thread a dozen times, admiring inkspotslo's ingenuity and craftsmanship.

That looks like a very good storage/carry box for a MD.

I guess you could also use it to carry home your findings if you found a pirates treasure chest.

I think that the box is a Stanley 028001L.

I do not yet have one of these boxes, and I sure don't have any connection to the info posted below, but if you find it interesting, hope it helps.
Thanks,

I know this is an old thread, but one of my local Wally Worlds has these very cases on for under $25 in a center isle, so I grabbed two of them :yes: You might want to check your local store if you're looking for a deal on one. Got mine at the Moncton, N.B. store. I don't know if this is a specific store deal or not.
 
That's pretty cool I took a Whites hard case that was made for an XLT and cut the foam a little so my V3i would fit. But looking at your creation I might consider putting my XLT back in it's box and make something like your box for my V3i. Nice !!
 
Awesome job! I'd love to see a parts list. My take this project on myself.
 
I dont know "Mrs. Neccesity", and I dont know why she named her kid "Invention" but she did. And thats a darn fine case. :lol:
 
Type of tool box

After getting my new used Etrac the thought of it rolling around in my storage unit, like my IDX Pro, was just not going to happen. I searched the web for a good deal on a Pelican hard case, but the cost of a new one of those would set me back almost 200 bucks. I knew at times the detector would stay in storage for 3-4 months at a time without being used. So I definitely wanted to be secure and water tight. Taking a different direction I came up with this solution to the problem. Let me know what you think.

Hi what type of toolbox is this
 
Years ago I had a hard case made for a detector by one of the detector companies. I don't remember which one. Fisher maybe. I never went anywhere to need it so I sold it. I guess i should have kept it.
 
Thats pretty sweet, I like it alot. Makes me think about doing something for the explorer. I had a some custom foam made for my Excal and that fit into a standard hard suit case for traveling.
