Give me a set of plans and I can make most things but I'm not very good when it comes to art or design. I have built a beautiful steam launch and I have found that I really enjoy sailing her. With an electric boat I only need to carry the transmitter but the steam launch requires much more such as :-
gas canisters (4), fire extinguisher, igniter, syringes (for grease, oil and water), pliers, screwdrivers, spanners, box spanners, spare Rx battery, matches, silicone sealant, knife, wire brushes, tubing and tweezers plus assorted nuts, bolts and washers. I carry all this in B & Q compartment boxes in a fold down, plastic storage box.
I want to make a nice wooden tool case with carrying brass handle, hinges and fasteners. I want to construct it in the style of an apprentice piece, such that peeps admiring the launch will also look favourably on the tool case. Ideally, when open, every item should be visible and accessible , ie in compartments not drawers. I'm thinking spring clips and magnetic holders, a folding down work area, slide out and fold up boat stand/steady. It doesn't need legs as where I sail her has picnic tables, one of which appears to have become "ours" on Sundays.
This is the situation at present.
I would be grateful for any ideas, photos or tips to get me started. Thanks in anticipation.
Jerry.
