Superb craftmanship and choice of material.

Absolutely bonkers! Like this concept better than the suitcases, looks really cool...but bonkers lol

Definitely a well crafted conversion, some skills have gone into that

that is fantastic !

Looks great and I think the magic eye valve will be a nice touch! Does the magic eye run on low voltage?

mookbox - 2013-05-09 13:11

Magic eye is 12v ....goodtimes :-D

Sitman that is awesome - I saw a similar period radio in a charity shop go £30 the other day with a note saying - not working - damn that was double hard to resist :-D

isolator42 - 2013-05-10 05:12

It's got a real steampunk vibe about it... cool  

mookbox - 2013-05-10 06:38

Yeah had to be because of the 113 yr old case ;-)

I'll never walk past an old sewing machine again without thinking.....hmmmmmmmm

 

Great Workmanship!

sitman - 2013-05-10 18:04

113 year old? Yikes! I don't have the heart to chop up vintage things that have stood the test of time. Don't get me wrong, when I see things like that, I immediately start thinking of mods, then I feel sorry for the item and feel someone else would cherish the originality of it. Guess it would be different if I pulled it out of the trash though. I might have a go at making a mookbox soon. Found myself looking at luggage in a thrift store today and seen some briefcases and figured that was boombox sized and pretty much in a hard case, might make a good box?

mookbox - 2013-05-11 05:27

Cheers guys - yeah I do quite like antiques and it can be a struggle to make the first cut sometimes - but I figure I'm adding value and interest to an otherwise undervalued old item so I can justify it...just about ;-) ....good luck with the suitcase...just remember to board the bugger out so it doesn't vibrate to much ;-)
