Below is a picture of a tote box that I built up from JUNK that Tower Hobby sent me.
All the wood was so warped that on several pieces I had to use bricks, 2, 7 amp batteries and my 35 pound vacuum pump to straighten them out.
One drawer was missing the bottom and all the dividers.
I was going to trash the wood but decides to make the power panel a permeant attachment to the main box.
You can see where I went heavy on the Elmer's glue.
I used clampd,tacks,small nails and wood screws to hold parts together until the glue dries.
About 20 hours of work plus the cost of the stain,brush,sand paper but I think the box will hold up to some heavy abuse
TH gave me credit but not the full price.
I decided if I made the power box separate then one day i'll lose it or forget it so I have one BIG TOTE box but still getting the SIG.

This shot is just a bit better and shows how the power panel and the main box are together as one unit.
