I already built 4 different cases for my system because what they sell out there are not exactly what we need. My point is, I struggled a lot even on my last one after seen your video I found out easier ways for each application ... thanks for sharing your work!!👍👍

Your way of marking the handles with tape is brilliant. I've always had issues getting the hole marked just right under the latch, your way is such a great idea. Thanks!

A few things to note here. First and foremost, great work with this. It is an old school, single purpose design. If it gets busted, you build another... ...simple.
For those who've criticized that, this case was designed to take the brunt of any fall, but only once or twice, as instruments and gear were not meant to be bounced around.
If you want to build a similar project but with a more multi-use, bumping around purpose:
1. Instead of stapling ends first, use clamps to hold things together (bar clamps and standard trigger clamps work well, you'll need several to hold the box in shape), then start with one end, and move down the edge to the other end, stretching the sections into one another, excess can be shaved off with a sandeblock.
2. My dad and I both do this with anything we nail or staple--first we put wood glue on the edge, then we staple it, then remove the excess wood glue with a slightly dampened cloth or paper towel (not dripping, don't leave much moisture behind
3. One other "old school" method of creating these "boxes" is to cut square teeth on the ends of the boards, just over the width of the joining board, then use a cloth-hammer to "join" them, along with a staple and wood glue. Then you sand the excess off afterward. When stapling, you alternate around the angle, first on this side then on the other several teeth down. This leaves room for rivets\screws for edging, and if you stretch it down the line, rather than squeezing from the ends, any pressure on the box will "Relieve" the stretch, allowing it to absorb the impact more effectively. With teeth on both angles and stapling around the angle, you also have the added protection from an angular force, spreading the motion around the entire box instead of down just one side, which prevents the motion from transferring to your equipment.
4. To join the sides even more, and make the corners super solid, you can use corner steel pieces, inside and out, the outside being about the same thickness as your edging. Rounded corners are great because they allow you to stack the boxes and move around stacks without cutting yourself. This also lets you cut straight edging for several edges, and you can weld them together later to enable them to transfer force and move together.


Some of that takes a lot more time, but if you are looking for a more permanent, and more beatable box, that'll do. Your time is worth something, so if you really want a durable box, you could always... ...eh.... ...purchase one, maybe?


Once again, great job here. Just wanted to point out that it was great for the target purpose; workmanship and all. There's a logic to it all, and a kind of math that may not have perfect numbers, but it's still a sound bit of practice.

I have repaired many of that style case, they are good until one takes a good hit or falls from a the truck. They mainly fail because the pop rivits pull through the wood (may not happen on first fall, but it loosens the rivit) my advise would be use a washer inside the box to sandwich the alum angle and the laminated wood together. Or use a Double Angle ALum Excursion, but they is more money have a slight design change. Good Luck!!!

Now I dont feel bad spending several hundreds on the cases. What an effort to build one. Good job

[gdnrecords]

Amazing !! this is so inspiring, honestly I am your fan not just because of this case you made, also for this super clean system that you work, my respect for you man. Do you mind saying how much do you spend in the supplies you use building this beautiful case.

Complimenti per la realizzazione, flight case fatto molto bene e anche esteticamente ben rifinito. Vorrei chiederti qualche info in più su quello che hai usato:
Il pannello di multistrato da quanto è? 15mm?
Che vernice hai usato per pitturare la faccia esterna di nero?
Che profili in alluminio hai usato per la parte di unione tra i due pezzi. Ho guardato sul sito suggerito in descrizione ma non ho ben capito quale hai usato.
Sarebbe utile magari se aggiungessi anche le misure del flight case e anche quelle di cerniere e maniglie usate.
Grazie mille. 🤟🏻😉

Excelente trabalho. Isso estimula outras pessoas a fazerem seus próprios cases. Parabéns!

[algonzalez]

Hello- Txs for sharing. Did you texturized the panels first or glue an ABS acrylic sheet to them? For the box structural rigidity did you only use brad nails? No screws?

[nolanchiat]

Thank you for the inspirational education. I would love to see you build a flight case for a cello... given the varying depth of the instrument.

Awesome! I need to make a few custom FC's to protect a $195, 000 camera, studio pedestal, camera head, and box lens. I will need to install custom plywood interior with foam and thin carpet material over it.
You gave me and excellent method if doing this. Thanks!

Que video tan entretenido y dador de ideas. Felicidades

[rodolffohigueros]

excelente!! el mejor video que he visto hasta al momento, gracias!!! saludos.

[TheTic]

-amazing work !! in such a small room. Great Job Man 🙂

[BradfordGuy]

Very nice video of the process. Some great ideas in the fabrication as well!

TOP SHOW 10 PARABENS !!!! .... 5 STAR

[OHLR]

Very interesting video, we wondered how a flight case is made. Maybe someday we will make some for our gear, they are expensive to buy.

[vibram]

Great video !
Regarding the aluminium profile you use for the opening part, it's a male/female one ? There is no issue of friction on the hinge side ?

[nickbaigent]

fixing the whole box together before cutting off the lid....genius!

[AdamBlocher]

Is the plywood pre-laminated, or do you laminate it beforehand? Unless it has a different coating?
