The Book-Box

This is an idea i had for a while…
With my Macintosh portable computer collection growing, i need something to store them in a elegant and convenient way. back when i was a kid, when parents a I travelled oversea and changed places, we used big (100 l in volume maybe) tin trunks to pack things, with our name stencilled on it. Then when settled somewhere it was used to store things, toys for my brother and I case…
I loved these trunks.
I also like a lot old dressing trunks , like this one :

Thought it would be nice to have something of the mix of the two, as a place to store my preciousss collection…
So found a tin trunk, a 90 l,new , nice dark red. Exact same design as these we had when i was kid, only the tin is much thinner . Don’t think it could withstand a lot of travels like the ones we had… but it’s not bad for the uses i intended for it.

Put some wheels at one end, and some foots, to stand it, and so i can move it like a baggage barrow.

Installed a steel armature inside …

…to hold some shelf plates, cut from aluminium, with stiffeners riveted to it.
Stencilled my logo on the door. And added my login with stickers letter on…
And Voilà, Me like :)
