Never been done before!
« on: May 06, 2021, 10:26:32 PM »

 a put some legs on a Pelican 1650 case. I am tired of camping and not having a larger table and having to bend over all the time to get things out of my 1650 cases.

Read about it in my blog; https://poppageno.blogspot.com/2021/05/never-been-done-before-folding-legs-for.html

Good work, I am very practical.

Most of us have Series, we like to build all kinds of things, this is an example. :bright-idea

Been doing some more 'o that dangerous thinkin, 'bout how nice those stock wheels  are. So figured out how to utilize them with the legs. I added how to my original post, just to keep it organized.

Hi Gene,

Me? I'd have laid the case on the grass ... and dug a hole to stand in (giving me somewhere to empty the chemical loo when I move on.   :whistle )

Hi Gene, I dunno about prices in the US of A but the price of Peli cases here, well, I've bought entire Landrovers for less :-)

I have two similar sized cases that I bought in a US Army PX as "footlocker" boxes in the late 90s, they've travelled a fair bit since. A few less bells and no whistles ... but as I've two of them they make a nice table when stacked.

John,    I think Barbara might have trouble getting in and out of the same size hole you might find comfortable to stand in.......

Gene,    I've seen some Contico stuff before. Yep Peli cases are costly and I've only bought them off Craigslist used. I have shifted to less costly and equally good Nanuk cases, made in Canada, eh!   https://nanuk.com/   I've made the stacked cases table while camping and invariably I get the tablefull and then need something from out of the bottom case..... :thud
