Jax13 251 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 It's a bit bigger on the floor plan than I thought, looks well built though and agree with the catches, they look spot on. Quote Link to post

TOMO 25,814 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 you can make a home made one easy by using an old pastic paint tub,, 10 litre think,,,cut a hole in the top and use tie wraps to anchor down a bit of weld mesh,,,young rew on here had one like this,,,its even on one of his films...

troyboy17 631 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I am trying to make a rucksack box what thickness is the ply u used to make the curve please Quote Link to post
jok 3,128 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Troyboy. If you go that route then you need what they call aircraft ply. It's very pliable. However, for the last 2 years I've been using fibreglass sheet which is both stronger and more pliant. I have never made a rucksack box so don't know if you could adapt. Can't see any reason why not though. Jok. Quote Link to post
troyboy17 631 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Were would you get fibreglass from Edited May 21, 2017 by troyboy17 Quote Link to post
jok 3,128 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Roofing sheets are what I use. Have a look on the net. Also, thinking about it a little, pop rivets would perhaps be the way to go. I might have a play with one myself. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post
troyboy17 631 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Have a play then u can do me one lol 1 Quote Link to post
lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Go to a electrical cable supplier, see if they have a used cable drum, the 3mm ply in the middle is what i use.It is already formed to shape, never had a problem with it. 3 Quote Link to post
