Received the Menards flyer yesterday. There's the tool cart that can be made into a field box. The tool case looks good enough to hold two transmitters.

I also saw the Menards flyer in the Chicago Area. They've got a lot of clamps on sale. A 6" Quick-Grip clamp runs around $16 at the hardware store(I recently bought one) - Menards is selling it for $8. The clamps are pretty handy when you're building. If you want to look at the ad, they have a web site.

Just a bit of advice; check the cases over carefully before you pick one out to take home. There's sometimes paper covering the sides.

I had mine for a short time and the thin aluminum covering on the top cover started to bubble up in the middle. Still a good case for the $ but it's not too pretty anymore.

Also, it's hard to get stickers to stay on it :-)

What kind of epoxy? Polyester? If so have you ever smelled the stuff? My wife banned it's use in the house because it had such a bad oder. I thought I saved a ton of cash by buying this huge tub of epoxy for $8.00. It smelled so bad we had to get out of the house and let it air out. It cost me $15.00 to go out to eat and $150.00 at the mall. Just to return and find a cold house with a bad smell!

I just say, "It's no worse than the smell of your nail polish honey."

(then she drops $150 at the mall anyway)

I diden't think it was too bad at first... untill I used it to seal the entire in side of a boat hull. It took about 4 oz of the stuff. After a while even my stomach started to turn. I plan to install a exaust fan in my work shop and see if it helps next time. When I told my wife that the stuff was alot cheaper she told me that SHE would pay the difference!!! I have yet to see that!

Just the fact that I am buying epoxy by the pound still has me scratching my head, on the one hand I think wow, I'm into this so much I need to buy epoxy by the pound, on the other hand I think wow! I"m into this so much I need to buy epoxy by the pound. Does that make sense ??? Maybe I'll go take a couple sniffs of the stuff and see if it stinks, maybe it will clear up my thinking a bit hehe.

Default Sorry!!!!!

Rockmon I am sorry! Go and use your pound of epoxy where ever you want! I was just at Menards and saw the product that you bought. It's good stuff and with a low oder. I bought a can and tried it my self. I thought you bought the epozy found in the automative section for fiberglass repairs. I think it was Bondo Brand. That's the stuff to watch out for!

I have seen two of these carts that were converted. The one I saw had three removable sections. The guy used one fro Airplanes, one for Helicopters and the other held all his fuel.
