Love that table leg idea, think I need to get some for my DJ console cover as well 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

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!

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.

It’s definitely better to cut your latch holes before hand. It’s also unnecessary to get the lid extrusions so that the latch will sit on the bare wood

Those handles should really come with a backer plate. I’ve had that problem as well

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!

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??

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.

Tongue and Groove extrusion is used for the lid to meet the body of the case. Double Angle extrusion is used to connect the panels together. Single angle is used in this video, double angle is superior

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

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.

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.
