So I contacted @Nogoingback but notice that he is missing since March 8th..
So @extropic if I don't get an answer by Friday 12am, I'll send it to you.
I'll let you know tomorrow night, and then ask for your name/address. We'll give him a day and a half longer.

I repaired a welded rivnut that had let go - using the included repair kit, a very nice touch. @Flyinfool - i don't know if you made the tool or purchased it but it worked great; if you did make it great job it's top quality.

I have to admit that I bought the the rivnut tool just for the Pass Around box. Was not much more than to buy the metal to make it, and it would have needed some new tooling that would have been WAY more than the tool was. I bought 2 tools to keep one for myself along with half of the rivnuts I bought. Besides it would have took me at least 2 weeks or more to get the material, tooling and time to make the tool and I did not want the box to stall that long.
 
@woodchucker & @Flyinfool

I offer a "Good Call" to both of you. I appreciate the heads up regarding Nogoingback and the tool/nuts being added to the box. Both of those promote the flow, which is at least half the fun for me. Thanks again.
 
Couldn't wait. Opened the box. OMG!

The contents were assembled like a Chinese puzzle. Very solid and well protected.

I don't think I've seen this specific box before. Well built and the foam lining is a nice touch.

It's going to take me a few hours to repackage. LOL

Your reaction is worth the wait.

I had that box fabricated by one of the welders here a couple years ago. The aluminum one from years past is lost or with a former member. Cannot get a hold of him so we had to start over.

I put the liner in there for two reasons, a) sound deadening, which seems to work as intended and b) protection of parts - of which is debatable in its effectiveness.

From previous posts, it sounds like some parts may have been damaged in transit, highlighting the necessity of the top tier 3D puzzle building skills and spacial awareness!
 
I agree that excellent protective packaging is a top priority. It takes the fun out of it, for me, when good items have been significantly damaged in transit. I know, first hand, from previous experience.

There is a wide variety of stuff in there. I'm going "shopping" later. :grin: :grin:

Heads up, you'll need at least a square yard of clear table/bench area to spread the contents out.

I got a reply from @finsruskw, with his mailing address, so all is well.

My next reply will include picture(s). :grin:
 
Yes! I was really excited when i unpacked it and completely underestimated how much was in that box. It took several times to sort through the items to find my "prizes". Make sure when you go shopping that you spend time "in every aisle on every shelf"! Now in my haste to unpack i didn't pay enough attention to how it was all in there so it took a few attempts to get it all back in - and once i forgot the darn book! I saw at least one post confirming that i wasn't the only one! :)

It's all good - this is the real world version of machinist tetris!!!
