Jeez, good work Chuck;

As I keep my airplane outside I know what it's like working outside, out of small tool boxes, always seem to be missing something, no work benches, etc. So I can really appreciate your accomplishment. I mean with somebody like Ed, we expect it (you're down to what?? 4 hours re&re now Ed? :-).

Seriously though, I'm glad you got it up & back home and am interested in any damage reports.

Todd,

Get the largest roll-around tool chest you can find that still isn't
taller than - say - a bar top. DO NOT PUT ANOTHER TOOL
BOX ON TOP OF IT. Fit a piece of masonite onto the top for
a work surface. If you have need for a medium-sized vise, cut a
piece of 1/8" steel to reinforce the underside of one corner of the
top; drill your holes and mount the vise so it hangs over one end.

I started doing this 28 years ago with a 13 drawer Craftsman
roll-around. Being able to roll around your own workbench and a
substantial array of tools is a god-send.
