Photos Billet range tool box

[deepsix++]

hey guys check out my tool box . made it for all the tools I take with me to the range . its about 14in wide . would any one be interested in these if they cost around 1k ?

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Probably wouldn’t spend the $$ on one…

But wicked cool and really nice machining there!!

Post some “making” details in the welding and metalworking” thread… folks will like to see it!

Great job!

Holy shit is that awesome!!!

How many machine hours to make one?

Looks nice. Raise the price to $4,000 and sell them to the government. Gotta come up with a cool acronym name for it though.

Yes! Minimum 2,500 units makes it $10 million - plus,
processing fee,
engineering fee,
inventory fee,
billing fee,
transaction fee,
prep fee,
scrap disposal fee,
crating charges,
transmittal fee,
collection fee,

and a few others I can remember right now…

Add a black non-binary genetic female to the staff for a DEI fee, and don’t forget $2.7M for an environmental impact study.

 

[MBanning]

There is no way I could justify the $ but that is fuckin awesome. Nice work!

 

[knuckleballz]

Damn thats nice. It puts to shame the tool boxes guys would make in the sheetmetal/galley fabrication shop at the airline.

This might be the first thing that TSA couldn’t destroy!

that one picture of it in the machine is the only in process photo I have

How many machine hours to make one?

I used one machine after hours at my day job and did one side of the box at a time , total spindle on time is some where around an hour and a half . but that doesn't include set up time

here is the model in solid works

 

[n2ishun]

My bad, images tricked me.

 

[iceng]

Nice work. Like the lock idea.

Dimensions (ex and int) and final weight ?

I wont buy one, but its a cool project. Well done.

Don't forget to write an "Operators Manual"

Don't forget to write an "Operators Manual"

Ideally in Chinese then have it translated into pigeon English…

That box is so well-engineered it is probably ITAR controlled anyway!

Sirhr

 

[iceng]

Don't forget to write an "Operators Manual"

And include something like "do not lick, not for human consumption." And "this is not intended for rectal use."

 

[darkfader]

That’s badass. Very nice. I’ll go be poor somewhere else now.

A bit too rich for me, but that is some pretty sweet work. Nice job!

im not saying i am in, but i could be interested at that price.

whats the weight?

what's it coated with?

id want a very durable finish for that. i really dig everything about it.

I like it but how do you lock it?

 

[Rthur]

How many pounds of chips?
Cycle time?

Enviromental impact fee

 

[Whistlepigs]

Damn it, I want one even though I have no clue what I would use it for.

its 6lbs

I mixed a custom cerikote color to mimic areo space Zink chromate color paint

total spindle on time is around 3hrs , but I could get that down by a bit by optimizing the design a little more , IDK how many lbs of chips tough .

 

[deepsix++]

I like it but how do you lock it?

there is no provision for a lock but that's a good idea

 

[ma smith]

OP is this thing looks designed to stack on a crate something ?
Like milwaukee packout stuff?...or...what spec did you use???

(looks great btw)

 

[Baron23]

Beautiful....as said before, a bit rich for its purpose. But it is a very cool piece of work.

its not designed to interface with any current stacking system . I just raised the corners so I could put things on top of the box with out it rocking around on the handle

 

[Devildog]

Nice job, very cool.

And here I was thinking you misappropriated some aerospace primer! Very cool BTW!

 

[JoshPutman]

Very nice!

the more i look at it the more i really really like it.

 

[LuvDog]

Too rich for me but definitely cool. I would make them stackable and include the ability to throw a lock on it.

Rev 2 for sure , I might look into seeing what it would cost to have the raw material forged to sort of eliminate a lot of the time consuming roughing

let me know how that goes and what you can get the cost down to

 

[Bullfrog08]

I've seen something similar to this before. Not sure where, but I know I've seen this...........

 

[deepsix++]

let me know how that goes and what you can get the cost down to

follow my company IG XOF_Industries_Official . when ever I get around to making these as a product it will be announced there . it might not be for some time
