That's a nice box Hurco. If you haven't shipped it yet you may want to add some blocks running east-west in the picture to help support the ends.
You can make some money doing that kind of work. A side biz of mine is doing fine art crating. I got $600 over cost on a crate like this:hurco550 said:I built this box to ship my gt250 crank to the rebuild place. I am hoping the ups guys don't see it as a "challenge" though haha. I can almost hear the sorters say "hey I bet you can't destroy that wood box lol"
Final cost to the customer ends up being just short of $850. $90K worth of paintings off to a sale, they will pay. Plus, they have to satisfy the underwriters.
Hmm,I like that way better. gives support across the whole piece... I guess my "custom" support ribs are coming out lolTune-A-Fish said:ship motors in coolers too and $$$ top ends you can make a foam bed with cans of foam insulation and good quality trash bags like this:
Nice man! I am far from a wood worker though. I always say I can make you almost anything you world want out of metal, but you give me wood and I'm lost. My box is fine as a shipping container, but that's just about it hahadeviant said:You can make some money doing that kind of work. A side biz of mine is doing fine art crating.

I build all kinds of things, (furniture for a living) from tools to jigs to anything I need but don't want to buy.
Basically I just want to see what everyone is building other than bikes 8)
This is my latest furniture piece
Here's my heater for my bike shop:
Bike Shop work tables:
Etc.
Lets see it

Deviant that's some solid craftsmanship man.. I am a bit of a wood-worker myself.. how does one get into doing something like that on the side? Any info you could PM me would be greatly appreciated.. thanks man.

I built a hearth for a wood heater in the man cave.
An old pallet with some cement sheet, some flat stone that the previous owner of our house left and a 2nd hand wood heater
It's cold here now and I need some heat to keep me motivated to finish my gt185 Cafe racer build

I turned this:

Then into this:
Don't let the home improvement shows fool ya, it takes longer than a commercial break for that kinda stuff to happen. And it's tedious work setting 345 pavers to grade.
But I did get to play with this:
Playing with heavy equipment in the mud is one of the top five most fun things you can do with your clothes on
Oh, and the Supervisor... hard at work:
