My dirt cheap cargo box
Not much of a thread, just wanted to post this.
I wanted to build a storage drawer, but decided this would be cheap/free and a little lighter. It was built with junk I had laying around the garage. Scrap plywood, metal brackets, an old piano style hinge, a handful of wood screws, and an old can of min wax red mahogany. 4 walls, 1 bottom, and 2 tops. One top is hinged to swing out like a mini work bench, supported by a telescoping car wash handle that I had previously broken the mop off of. One side 3/4 in taller so the lid sits flush with the table when it's extended. The screws were a little too long so I trimmed the point and ground it flush with the trusty dremel. Hit it with some 80 grit, 1 coat of stain, easy breezy. If I can find a piece of scrap alum sheet I'm gonna attach it to the tables "working surface". Maybe I can put a little camping burner on there.

Hell yeah. Looks like a good days work

It's not pretty lol, but it works. I was gonna put more stain on it, but don't want it to get darker

It must smell like a cigar lounge in there. Awesome. ;)

That's a neat little piece you made! I like the flip out work space.
