Status: offline 		I am always checking out everyone else's field box. You have your standard boxes that you can order as a kit or prebuilt but what I really like are the creations that came out of necessity or just the internal need to customize. I have had a couple of boxes to date. They were always big and really heavy. I wanted a box that held what I needed and would still fit in the trunk. I have attached my creation. There is still a need for a tool box that I carry my radio/charger/tools and parts in but it doesn't have to come to the flight line with me. It usually lives in the trunk.
I want to see everyone's creations that are out of the norm or just plain utilitarian.
I'll start:
I had this tool box for a few years. I always liked it but never used it. When I stared going to work in the old Caddy (76 Eldo convertible) and the wife took the Expedition I realized my field box wouldn't fit in the trunk (too high). I was looking around the shop and I saw my old tool box. I measured it and it was just the right size to fit a gallon of fuel in. I used the Dremmel took to do most of the chopping (and some wire snips). It holds everything I need for my glo engines (all the extra parts I carry live in a toolbox). The big empty space in the second deck will fit the starter. I usually carry it in the top but it will fit in there if I need it too. It worked out great and gets a lot of positive comments at the field. It also fits well on the shop counter. I love it.

I just happen to have one of those out in the garage i bought at Costco last year with the intent on doing the same thing....exactly the same thing.

Now, thanks to you I can steal your design and not have to put much effort into making it work.

Thanks Billy,

BTW, shoot me pictures of your shop, I like the way you arrange your stuff, and besides...I'm lazy

Status: offline 		I think the one thing I would have done diffrent would be to find a smaller tank. Then I could have just taken out the lowest shelf or if it was a small tank, taken out no shelves. All the cutting hurt the amount of stuff I could have put in there. I was in a hurry and just wanted to make it. But it works really well for me.

Status: offline 		Nice field box! Compact and not half the workshop in it. Some fliers think they need enough tools and glues to rebuild an airplane at the field.
Me, I carry a small tool box and a gallon of fuel witha small battery to run the fuel pump. NO starter or starter battery. I'm an old control line combat flier and don't NEED no stinking starter! Just hate to see those black rings on my spinners.

Nice job Billy

To my surprise, this compact set up covers 98% of all my flying needs, and the other tool/spare parts box rarely come out of the car!
