Well I messed up and started this thread in the wrong place accidently. So I'll restart it, already in progress , here where it's s'pose to be. The beginning part will be found in the tokers den under "starting the long process".

as of today , I took a few days off and yesterday started to build the door , went to rip some oak and the table saw , less then a year old , blew up.




I can fix it up though

Here's where i'm at on the build








Have to frame the dor a lil and make a lock system Then i can get the inside done .... Need my table saw

What are the dimensions of that sweet little box? Also what kind of wood is that being used?

[Latitude18]

3/8 cedar ply 3/4 red oak and plain (clean ) 2x4 riped to 1 1/2

22 x 26 x 4'

18

That is a first class box you are building there!!
You are a craftsman for sure. I'll bet you are planning on putting a nice stain & finish on that & making it look like a piece of furniture or built-in. A great idea for stealth. Are you a cabinet maker by trade by any chance?
Please provide us with some pics when you gottr all done.

I do some furnuture building here and there , it takes alot of special tools to do it right. As far as the outside , i wanted to leave it natural and just clear coat it , all nails would be under to trim except the door , but if i can fill them , make a lil glue and sawdust filler , I'll clear coat it if not i'll spray it black acrylic. Inside , spray it white with some Kilz2

going to HD today to get another table saw , i'll get the same model that broke and return the broken one

hopefully I'll get some work done today , I also have to fix my new used truck , seems to be a short in the back lights , when the lights are on everything is fine , till you hit the brake , then all kinds of weird stuff happens , So i'll be chase'n shorts , hope its a short chase

plus today is beachday

This is easy stuff , I use to do the big stuff , bridges , houses , heavy marine contr.

I can tear it down , load it up , truck it away , come back and build it new , soup to nuts , don't matter what it is ... bikes to planes .. dog houses to multi million dollar weekend homes for movie stars ... even poured concrete with a heilocopter in the east river right outside the UN building in NYC... now i sit on my ass alot and do lil projects when i can









night shot .. before and after corners ... made them this way for strength , top and bottom are 3/4 marine ply

can't wait to do the inside ... just wait till you see whats gunna happen in there... i have two 2 foot 20w 5000k floro tubes and two 42 watt 2600k cfl's and a 80 cfm fan .... to be continued

Alright, gussets for the corners!!

Keep us updated...I'm pulling up a chair.

Got my new saw , and added another tool to the collection, a nice jigsaw w/laser line. Had to chase the short down in the truck lights , that got a DONE stamp , and did a lil trim on the door , did the long sides and it fits so good i had to loosen it up some. Top trim is easy and bottom trim is going to be part of the stealth lock , thats gunna take some time ... but I did take a few crapy pics in the dusk light, hope you can see

... I'll start with a few pics of the door trim in daylight









Next I did the inside ventalation panels
heres the corner ready to go in



And installed





both corners 45'd and a 3/4 x 10" temp. installed in back



heres the light shelf installed



got these shelf pins from a old shelf unit so i can adjust the height



lights on




and in





I know ... what's up with that back wall ?... well , the 45's are the air in and the back panel is exhaust and wires ... got a quiet fart fan that blows @80cfm , i'll connect that in the bottom , pop holes where I need them exhaust holes in the top (elec sec. ) and grow section in the back panel , all feeds down and out the bottom .. size and quantity of holes , yet to be determined

... well yesterday was a wash , Company landed at 12 noon and spent some time at the beach and the bar

But that don't mean my brain was off , What do you'all think about this idea ....

Seen my cabinet , i was think'n use'n carbon water filters for scrubbers ... check this out , block one end hole (or not and do step 2 twice), you could use anythins from plastic from a milk container to a pvc cap , step 2 >>> put a elbow in the other end ( or both , depending on how much flow you need) , then seal the elbows to the out holes . I'm thinking i have a 4" fan setup so 2- 1" filters , with elbows out at both ends will give me about all i need , maybe the third if needed could be smaller , all depending on the actual output dimensions

what do you all think?
