Very Nice.. you've inspired me. I haven't found a box on the market that I like that isn't 60 bucks or more so I may have to buld my own as well. Are you going to make a false bottom to keep the lower drawer elevated for easier opening in grass, etc? I find that when you pick most of them up loaded the weight isn't centered across the handle for example the fuel on the end wights down that side.
I was thinking the same as you, just didn't like anything on the market.. I basically laid out everything and built it to fit. The upper slot is not a drawer so to say, I have a plastic organizer for all my small stuff (ie. plugs, small tools and any thing else that is small), I just put aknobon it and it slides in like a drawer.The bottom drawer is only about 7" deep by 4" high and just slides on the bottom, the bottom is getting small feet to lift it up so it doesn't snag on the grass.The small 4" opening on the side is a prop drawer that will house up to 20" props and my retract pump..
You are right about the handle and weight not being centered, with all my stuff in and my cordless starter sitting on the right side, the pick up point it closeto the left side of the handle..
I'm waiting on paint to dry, so I will post pics once it's all done..
