Default RE: A NEW KIND OF BUILD THREAD, for those of you . . .

Tigerdude,

I don't want to discourage you as a new participant this fine hobby, but I have some information that may be of use. I built that exact box. I spent hours making it furniture quality, lined the drawers with cork and really did a nice job. I found it to be heavy, cumbersome and too darned big. It's a great box...more than you will EVER need....unless you intend to build at the field or open a mobile hobby-shop.

I fly almost every day and I have learned to travel light. (TX case, cheap duffel bag and a cup of coffee). I used to come to the field prepared to fix almost anything. Then I stopped damaging planes...after I learned to control them all the way to the runway.

Enjoy building that box. It's a fine one...probably the best with one or two exceptions. I just think it will end-up on your workbench in less than a year...just too big.
