Evening,

I hope you're all well!
So I decided I was bored and wanted something for the bike.

I don't need anything for the bike, but I do need something - toolbox esk - for all the bike parts - allen keys, lubes, tube etc....
So I decided to use a Jerry can I bought for the Land Rover (though never used) and chop it to make a tool box - yes I could have got a £20 one from local hardware shop, but i'd still be bored!!!

See the attached images - if you're interested!!
The 2 sides will join with hinges - i'll weld them on
The parts internally will sit in Laser cut stainless brackets - like the gas 'bottles' are in the pic.

I've no idea what to carry - though I think what's in there plus a few more 'T' Keys, shock pump and chain lube.
I've got a pair of brackets laying around that will allow the track pump to be attached to the outside!!
It'll be used for bike trips - whether a day or week

I know it may be overkill, but i'm not bored - for now!

Any ideas of what to add??
(I run Di2, don't need spare cables)

All the best

YEP!!!
Edging pipe is curled next to it on the floor!

First aid kit is a good call!
Thanks

hi pal,

Power bank...... I was wondering what to do with the spout - I could sink a USB fitment in there with the power nuzzled away - Thanks

but I don't drink, though a chocolate milk holder I could see coming

Thanks for the ideas
