Instructions On Making Custom Road Cases At Home


By Jennifer Cooper


We all need that assurance that our property is safe. You should not only get insurance but also make sure that you have kept the things themselves in a safe place. This is why when you are especially traveling, you should have your custom road cases. These will always ensure that your property is safe from all kinds of weather.

Your workspace is the most important thing at this point. If you do not have a working area. The whole building process will be delayed. So after coming up with the design of the case, you should go on to gather all the tools and materials you will be needing to get the job done. Make sure you do not over buy or under buy.

The next step is to cut extruded aluminum. This is one of the elements that result in the road is so strong. The best tool for the job is a cold saw. It does not cause any damage to the aluminum. Measure the length of the uncut side pieces with an uncut piece of u-channel. This is of course measured according to the size of the case you want.

The notches and pockets are made out of wood. In order to avoid a messy job, it is important to use a jigsaw in cutting the wood. You cannot be able to draw or see the markings on the black ABS. It is, therefore, best to put the markings on the unfinished side. You should trim down the u-channels to match with the notches.

For your case to be complete and stand straight, you will need to have corners. This corners not only give the shape but they also ensure that the case has the capacity to hold items inside without fail. These corners do not connect by the use of glue and screws; they actually use rivets to hold them in place. It is recommended to use a pneumatic riveter to put them in place.

Apart from the ball corners, you will need straight corners in order to put necessary angles to the road. These straight corners are put in by screws. You need to properly align the pieces of the cases before drilling screws to avoid messing it up. These corners will not only allow the case to stand but they also hide some of the imperfections in the corners.

Attach a rubber bottom or wheels depending on which you prefer. You should assemble the road in a closed position in order to have a preview of the end result. Align the hinges along the seam holding the two parts together. You can choose to secure the two parts with straps to ensure they do not move and ruin the whole assembling process.

All the cases you may have come across usually have foam dented in the shape of what is kept inside. You too need this foam in your case. It absorbs the shock and adds to the elegance. You should make sure the walls are not fully covered to avoid trouble while closing the road.
