April 12, 201015 yr Author Nice and smooth Got rid of some rust, went from this:To this:Then did some work on the box:Went a little nuts on the designs Got the bottom, a side, and the back all screwed together and by then I had ran both batteries for my drill dead so I had to resort to using a screwdriver to finish the side I was doing when the drill completely pooped itself, my arm hurts from tightening all those screws by hand!

AND looked like you were having fun doing it.Hows it sound? Does it meet your expectations?Thanks alot man!
