[Shop-talk] Making some shipping crates

[Brian Kemp]

Doug - If you decide to go premade, check out Pelican Cases - 
http://pelican.com - they come with or without foam.  They are so 
popular, all I had to type was "Peli" before Google suggested "Pelican 
cases".

They are waterproof and have a lifetime guarantee.  (This guarantee does 
not cover shark bite, bear attack or damage caused by children under 
five.)  I have several of their cases and flashlights.  One flashlight 
in particular has been heavily abused including about 100 southern 
California beach dives.  The cases are the same material as the flashlight.

If you have any scuba stores nearby, they probably stock them.  They are 
also popular with military, police, and fire departments.
