Light Carry Case

Ok this isn’t a flashlight but a carrier, and a do it yourself part, so this is where I thought it belongs. I decided to build a carry case for some of my flashlight that would have everything I need to grab it and go, like fishing, hunting camping, or whatever. This is what I came up with. It is made of Red Cedar and has all you would need to take with you including a 2 cell intelli-charger and batteries to fit any light I have.




Great craftmanship! Looks very classy and handy! Nice job!

Beautiful design. Wonderful work

Looks a little bit heavy, but very beatiful!

I’d love to see that go through the airport xray machine :stuck_out_tongue:

That is beautiful work. Almost too nice to take fishing or camping. How much does that sucker weigh fully loaded?

It don’t feel as heavy as it is really, just put it on the scale and it is 17.4 pounds with everything in it.

My own case is used/planned more as a Bug Out Bag addition.
I found a narrow, 2” wide aluminum carry case originally designed as a Poker Chip case.
I pulled out the chip holders, and put in some 1” egg crate tyle foam on both sides.
The narrow case with the foam provides enough friction to hold the lights in place for a quick, “close it, latch it, and go” adventure

Purdy. Turned out pretty nice!

Very nice. Where do I place my order?

Very nice indeed!

Sorry but this is a 1 of a kind build, not that I don’t enjoy woodworking mind you, I have a lot of back issues with severe spinal arthritis though,and I never know when I can get out to shop and when I can’t, especially in colder months. There is also the fact that if I don’t have the light or lights that are going in the box to make them fit exactly then it will never come out just right and that’s a lot of time just shipping and all. There is a chance I will be building a limited number (much smaller boxes) for an upcoming event for this forum. IF decide to go through and give a definite yes, then there will be some meticulously purpose built boxes that some will have a chance to get their hands on. I do appreciate the compliments from everyone though.

Very class looking.

Incredible craftsmanship. It would be even better if there is foam padding inside. :slight_smile:

The Mesh in the bottom and in the corners, and under the batteries, is actually a rubber padding, the top has foam that comes down just to the top of the batteries. The flashlights are held against the bottom firmly and will not move with the wooden cut outs for each one and Velcro across the top them.

That is wonderfully made, congratulations on your fantastic skills!!
And being such a beautiful case with such a great content, that really classifies as the Flashaholic’s Holy Treasure Chest!

Lovely craftsmanship. I wish I had the skills to build something like that from scratch. Ikea and lego is about my limit!

Is that fire-retardant wood with all those Li-Ions

Also, just thinking - is that metal chain (used for the lid retention) short enough that it can't short any of the cells, when it's slack and moving about inside the box?

Nice collection,

Hirsh

the box is big compared to the few lights in it. much space unused wasted

Red cedar I Think I have that in my shoe blocks. Looks good and smells really nice too! :slight_smile:

Nice work.

Good catch on the chain, I had concerns about that myself. the chain is made with flat links that move straight forward and back with very little side to side motion. I decided for the moment I will not use the end hole for the 26650 cell and if I guide the chain to start when closing the lid it will rest in that hole. I will be changing that out with a small folding arm that is rigid other than a single swivel point in the center though.
