[Shop-talk] Making some shipping crates

[Douglas Braun]

Hello,

Do you know those study custom made boxes that musicians,
photographers, etc. use to transport equipment in checked luggage?
I need to make a reasonable imitation of those, about 10" x 10" x 15".
 I imagine they are made from plywood, with
various bumpers, guards, hinges, latches, etc.  Does anybody know a
good source for the hardware bits,
or for plans to make one?  Places like Rockler and McMaster hav stuff
that might do, bu tnone of it looks like the stuff the
"real" boxes are mode from.

Thanks,
Doug
