Diy tea box wood1/13/2024 ![]() But always the issue was things like Nail On 1900/switch boxes and ceiling bar boxes would always get entangled in the mesh of the crate. We used milk crates to store electrical components. I, having few wood skills adapted what we used on the job. ![]() Heck, your wood working abilities are way way better than mine. Wood working is an excellent relaxer, I know a number of people in high stress jobs that use hammers and wood saws to detoxify. Keep it up, take a class if you can, it will improve your stuff.įirst off, Thank you for your service. Could the author do better, sure, and if NASA kept up the pace, we would be on Pluto by now, every advance helps us be better! This project is very expensive, but if that is what was needed it is a great instructable. I used enough screws to slow down people with screwdrivers! Today batt operated tools would make these easy prey! But if you added two hasps and locks even if hinged, then drive 4 screw nails into the outer edge (in mine), you make it much harder. Anone who might want to steal, did not know what was in the boxes. I gave them all away, but there could be 1-2 lurking in basement! I am not a carpeter, I do electric, these were transporter boxes for me. Some one dropped one off a scaffold at six feet, snapped some wood, never opened. If I still have one I will post a picture. Materials were milk crates, old wall board, scrap crap 3/4 inch square, screw nails, maybe some I also used some plain old white glue (permanent type, wood glue IS better)Ĭost to me Zero. Tools, razor knife, screw gun, hack saw screw drivers, and either a jig saw or a small underpowered circular store. I made these to pack tools, to move into a new place and storage I never used hinges. If you want handles reenforce the sides so they have somethig to screw into. I also sometimes took strips of 3/4X3/4 and screwed on rails on all long sides and two handles. I never used hinges I left an inner edge and scew nailed my lids lids on. If you want the lid to open on a hinge, make a lid from 3/4 inch plywood, and if your wall board is nice, cut a piece and glue/mail it to the top, attach hinges and hasp Screw them in right through the plastic/outer sides, and into the inner wood corners. You may remove the screws holding in the panels first, You may wish to make one side the back and make the piece of wood 1X4 and place at the back top part, so you can use hinges. Then cut 12 piece of 3/4X3/4 or 1X1 into lenghts that fit into the corners of a milk crate, screw 1 or two screws into each piece (predrill holes). First cut 5 pieces of old wooden wall paneling, that will make up the insides of the box screw them into the plastic crate first bottom, then walls so they cover the edges of each other.
