Let's see, First it seems odd that a 'prototype' shop is Geared for larger productions (oxymoron)? Second, a Woodmiser type tool for metal I'm guessing you'd be referring to a 3-in1 benchtop that has a roller, shear and break. Unfortunately they are only 12" wide and go down to 22 gauge. I agree, any HVAC shop should be able to one-off your box, it's basically a piece of 15"W x 3 1/2"D x 14 1/4"L duct with 2 endcaps. If you truly only plan to put papers in the box and not 50 pounds of pennies, then 22 gauge should be more than stiff enough, and if you buy and mount the hinge and lock yourself, it should be well under $100.00. One other note, if this is going 'in' a wall where your 2 x 4 walls are on 16" centers, watch your lid design if you want it to fully open whilst in the wall. Cheers, Chazz |

You might want to have a look at a few local locksmith shops in your area. One of them near me sells old used safes and lock boxes, etc., for very reasonable prices. I picked up this cash-drop box for a song. Very heavy wall steel construction and equipped with dual safe deposit type lock cylinders. You may be able to find something more suitable to your needs though (larger and lighter) if you look around. Just a thought. :beer: --- End quote --- I got mine from a local locksmith for a really good price. It's actually quite similar to that. Definitely worth a shot. |
