Just under 60 bucks, lock, extremely good material (you can stand on it,
or I can anyway), wheels are not necessary in our use, but for you...
could do the trick.

Ooops, forgot, it has a pretty good collapsible handle opposite the
wheels. All together, a pretty solid tool, if it's the tool you need in
my opinion.

I am using tool boxes now. We were trying to go another way but the
32" width seems to be a problem in a dock box and we want a height
suitable as a seat with a cushion.
We have a trick box across the back too but next time around I am
thinking about a leaning post with storage under it and no box across
the back. Since all of the aluminum will be custom made I want the
boxes first.


Well, I guess I might have missed if you put up a depiction but I can't
picture what you are talking about in my head not being around a lot of
docks. (more of a beach or ramp launcher in my boating days). what is a
"trick" box?

I'm thinking to get just exactly what you want, you'll have to build it.

Yes, and it wouldn't be all that difficult for anyone who is halfway
handy with wood working tools, epoxy and fiberglass. I'd start by
laminating a few sheets of 1/4 inch exterior ply with one layer of
relatively light weight glass on each side. It's easy to get the
panels dead nutz flat that way and much easier to laminate than after
it has been built into a box.

Evaluate the panels for stiffness; laminate extra layers of glass on
each side as needed for strength/rigidity but remember that the sides
and bottom do not require extreme stiffness.

Use the pre-laminated panels, cut out the pieces you need for the box,
seal the edges of all pieces with epoxy, and then tack the whole thing
together using clamps or light weight fasteners. Next step is to
thicken some epoxy and filet all of the inside corners with something
like a 1/2 inch radius (being careful to keep everything in square
alignment). Cover the filets with one or two layers of 3 inch
fiberglass tape/epoxy and let the whole thing cure.

You should now have a very strong and rigid box assembly that can be
filled/sanded/finished/painted the way you want. Make a cover using
the same technique as the box, sizing it to overlap the edges by some
small amount. The top will need to be stiffer than the sides and
bottom if you are going to use it for seating.

Why it is a typo ;-)

Truck box



Ok, Aluminum is pretty expensive though, going to have it welded?
Somewhere I might have a pic of the aluminum diamond plate box I had
built behind and level with the back seat of my CJ7 right before our
trip to Indy in 89... It was welded, locked, very nice. Made a nice seat
when the top was stored too and you could hang onto the roll bar.

I'd bet on the couple who rent the condo having a happier retirement
than your daughter.


Several reasons, but one is this: you can't predict what the future will
deal you, so it is important to have some fun while you can. Some 30
years ago, my doctor, a great doctor in his mid 40's, was shot by a
burglar he caught at his house. The doc died a short time later. He
didn't have any retirement. Another friend of mine, also a physician,
died in his early 40's two weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer.

I am not saying you shouldn't save for your retirement. You should. But
you should also go through life having fun, not just pinching pennies.

who the heck said she did not have fun. She just pays for it now. While
also saving for the future. Why spend $500+ a month for a car lease when
you can buy a cheaper car for less per month and in 3 years you have equity
in the car? She has been to Europe a couple times, Bora Bora and NZ, as
well as the Cooke Islands. Seems as if she has a good life. Plus two nice
girls and a husband. Plus she owns most of the property she resides in. A
lot more than the bank.

The resin boxes are reinforced with glass fiber, otherwise they would
have no strength, just like concrete with no re bar. If you finish a
glass over plywood box properly with sprayed gel coat it will look
just like factory made resin.
