This is a FANTASTIC build! I love the lengths of profiled aluminum running along the edges and those corner pieces. My favorite step you took was the re-rendering of that folding table, A+ for the facelift!! I’ve been planning some very similar cases, with the edging and clasps and I’ve grabbed some good ideas from your project. THANKS FOR SHARING!
Derek, how can I get the aluminum rail stock and rounded end caps and hardware you used on the box? I am making tack boxes for a horse trainer friend and these pieces are ideal. maybe the latches too. Hope its no bother...
Great custom product for given- time + materials investment. I guess you would glue/seal the metal for more $. That would really tighten it up if needed.
Pretty cool idea. I have doubts on the longevity of it though. I guess time will tell. Have you thought about using backing washers on those rivets in the future? They are made specifically for rivets in softer materials. Thanks for posting!
Those are made the same way music industry flight cases are made…. If they will last a decade handled by stoned stage hands and roadies in a hurry, they will last twice as long if not abused….
Where are you located, in or around Washington DC I assume? I am in NOVA and may be looking for a custom road case built for a half stack and effects and stuff. I may need to go with separate cases, one for the head and one for the cab due to the height of my truck, both live in cases. The head and cab are EVH 5150iii 100w and cab which are a bit larger than Marshalls so think it will need to be a custom build. Seems the cases are just so expensive. Any ball park would be greatly appreciated so I could know how much I need to have to pull the trigger??
I just started a non-profit 501(c)(3) to do therapeutic karaoke and am looking for a road case to house all equipment so it is basically roll case in, plug in and start show. I found a case design that does what I need with few mods. However was not impressed with the quality and it seemed way over priced. Wondering if I could connect with you and get a quote
Consistly putting out great designs, content, and video format!! Very cool, wish you were closer by FL would love to get one of your unique pieces in our store!!
5:28 It pulled off like that, because you didn't use a backing plate or small washers on the backside of those rivets. The rivets that are used in high stress areas for ATA rated or ATA 'style' cases, need to be a little bit longer to account for the washers/backing plates.
Not bracing the casters but securing them directly to the base is sketchy AF. So are the non-scuff caster wheels, venues don't like scuff marks all over their floors, especially the better venues, theaters, amphitheaters, proper concert halls, etc. I wouldn't give this build terribly long under touring conditions. Yikes.

Thanks Jimmy glad you got some use from this!
Beautiful case. And a great video. I love how you explained why the rivets didn’t hold. That takes humility. I’ll listen to a man like that anytime.
Appreciate that bud
Nice Job, I like the way you chopped out the latches, it looks easy but those cutting wheels dance about some, nice case.
As a merch dude myself, this would make life so much easier
Brilliant! This inspired me to mar one for my band. Thank you.
Awesome!
Love that table leg idea, think I need to get some for my DJ console cover as well 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
When my land surveying business takes off I’m gonna get you to build me some boxes kinda like that, you have great ideas!
Haha OK you got it!! Thanks NICK!
Always inspiring brother! I wanna get out in the shop after watching your videos! You’ve got mad skills
Thanks man I appreciate that!! Now go make something!!
Nice shop! Very cool! I want to start to make my own road cases. Thank you for the inspiration.
THANKS MAN!

I'm in Dallas TX bud
What is that slotted trim molding called that's on the inner lip of the lid and shelf? This whole process is awesome to watch btw.
I got it at TCH in Dallas. It's an aluminum extrusion made for road case lids, not quite sure of the name...
What is the name of the product you used to cover the wood? Great video. Many thanks.
ABS material. Got it at TCH in Dallas TX

Yes very true. I learned this the hard way! Thank you for commenting!
@@DerekConwayTX Blue Loctite is a must.
what did you use to cover the wood looked like some kind a veneer
Its called ABS. Got it from TCH in Dallas
Please how can I get the wallpaper you used in lamination of the flight case the black stuff
Its called ABS. I got it from TCH in Dallas TX
@@DerekConwayTX please how can I get it in Nigeria
Call them and ask to ship the order to nigeria. You'll pay for the freight charges but if you cant get it where you are you have to have it shipped
But will it fit in the storage area of the tour bus?
Candy would have loved that if she were still selling merch.
Customer asked for these specs so I'm assuming they know if it would fit under the bus or in the trailer behind the bus...
Good stuff. Love the functionality of this build. Do you take visitors to your shop? lol
Hahaha yep I get visitors all the time!
Nice ! :D
Awesome case! How do you quote jobs like this? I would take on these types of jobs but don’t know how to charge. Keep’em coming Derek 😎
Well I price the materials and give myself two days, then I quote the price. Sometimes I look around for similar pricing as well...
and don't ever say no to a job. Say yes then get it done somehow!
Exelent work!, What is that material called?? 1:13
ABS Plastic Sheet most likely.
wow that was great
Where do you buy this type of hardware
TCH in Dallas TX
Very good 👍
How do I buy this or the plans to build for my self????
This was a customer project and I have no plans for it. You may be able to use your own dimensions watching this vid.
great stuff but that conversation was a bit weird hahaha
I want one!
Can someone tell me what tool he uses to attach the shelving inside?

Cómo se llama el material de la lámina negra que recubre la lámina de triple o madera prensada?
Gracias
ABS sheet from TCH in Dallas TX
Genial !!!
Price kya h
when u pulled that handle off why u should always use washers behind your rivets :/
Not always but there, yes. Or nuts and bolts!
Would you be willing to share dimensions and materials?
Cant remember dimensions, half inch ply and all the pro materials from TCH in Dallas.
Made in USA 👌
Damn right!!!!
Seems like you could've saved yourself a lot of work by just starting with an ikea shelf instead of building one first..
Lol yeah right...
Not bracing the casters but securing them directly to the base is sketchy AF. So are the non-scuff caster wheels, venues don't like scuff marks all over their floors, especially the better venues, theaters, amphitheaters, proper concert halls, etc. I wouldn't give this build terribly long under touring conditions. Yikes.
Been rolling two years...well not so much in 2020...
I think your table has a lot of play. I don't like the idea. Put more weight on it and it will become looser.
@@arturodavila8581 how much weight do you think would make it looser?
