Plastic tools are often used to carry and store hand tools. But why not make a convenient portable tool case from a cylinder?
Firstly, a metal case is more reliable. Secondly, it looks much more solid. And thirdly, if you have the tool to make such a portable suitcase is not difficult.
First you need to use a grinder to cut off the "gate" at the top of the cylinder and valve. All irregularities will need to be ground with a petal wheel.
The main stages of work
After marking with a marker, the master cuts the cylinder with a grinder into two parts: a "bowl" for storing the tool and a lid. From the metal strip you need to make two supporting "legs", and then weld them to the bottom of the future suitcase.
From a piece of metal, the master cuts two semicircles. They will need to be welded inside the half of the container. Then, from the sheet metal, more workpieces must be cut out, and a removable shelf for storing hardware should be welded from them.
At the last stage, it remains only to “put” the lid on the hinges and weld the latch. The author welds a handle from a steel strip to the lid. Then the surface of the cylinder must be cleaned and painted.
