Easy One-day Project:- "Jerry Can Tool Box" !

[@TrevorChenier]

Awesome, a bit larger of a container and these would be amazing custom saddle bags !!!🤟🏾

[@shashiachari7242]

Brilliant idea! Working on the same for my pannier for my motorcycle. Procured half of the stuff... Thanks for the video, it would be much better with a lockable version. Love from India.

[@Moonfleet41]

That's mate... Good luck with making yours!

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Good idea, Del. And well executed. Just back from TET UK in the South of off to another trip. A busy summer. Not enough time to follow all your videos at the moment. But then in autumn I'll keep up again. All the best, Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Günter, glad you're still enjoying the videos when you get a chance, have a safe trip and have fun!

Great point, thanks mate..!

[@deangentles4966]

Hi Del great job I was just thinking how many jerry cans would I need till I got it Right Still it looks pretty dawn cool to me mate

[@Moonfleet41]

Ah, that's a bit harsh on yourself mate, you could do it, the know the drill, measure twice, but once! Have a bash, you never know what you can achieve!

[@LS-uv9gg]

I love the fact that I hadn't read the title, so had no real idea as to where this was going at first. Very enjoyable to see the imagination of a cool project reveal itself in such a fashion by the end. Bravo as usual! (I also have never seen black pop rivets before, cool.)

[@kayagon]

awesome project, well done!!

[@crewgadjy]

What paint did you used on the engine mounts, is it chip resistant? I wanna do my fork sliders till I can afford a proper paint job on them. Also where did you get the edging material you used on this project?

[@Moonfleet41]

The paint is 'Simoniz Tough Paint', and yes its a dedicated flexible stone chip paint, perfect for the job.. the edging strip was just from a random seller on ebay, just look for "Car door, boot edging strip" plenty of option out there mate.

[@crewgadjy]

@@Moonfleet41 would I need to prime the fork legs or just clean and scuff the surface? How many coats do you recommend, wil one can be enough to do both legs?

[@tonygomez6854]

I've never seen a center punch tool like that. Pretty slick. I also like the taper tool you used on the holes. Nice work.

[@tommylitchfield3450]

I agree! What a cool idea!

[@rickrogers2649]

Cool little intermission from the Sporty build Del. Beautifully done, as is all of your work. Also a great re-purposing of a gas can since we can't afford to actually buy the stuff lately. 😁 Thanks Del and Penney. God bless and stay well. ❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Rick.. ha ha yeah, in the distant future steel Jerry cans will be redundant so there will be all kinds of alternative uses for them.! Have a good weekend sir, and keep safe.

Those fuel cans are a lot nicer than the plastic ones we have here in the US.

[@Moonfleet41]

You don't have steel Jerry Cans there?!

[@BMGProjects]

We do, but I haven’t seen one in that size. The gas cans that are more common are the plastic ones, each having a unique and horrible pour spout due to EPA regulations.

[@madmarkuk1]

Great idea Del looks really smart

[@BigDan1190]

Very nice! Perhaps a dab of thread lock or super glue to keep those hooks from spinning and at the right distance?

[@vespamorelli7090]

Great video and idea. Would it not have been easier to cut it with your bandsaw rather than the angle grinder ?

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, and not really with the bandsaw as with sheet metal you need to lay it dead flat on the bed of the saw otherwise the blade can catch it and cave it in when you're cutting a can, I just figured this was the safest way to get a clean precise narrow cut!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Mark, yeah no trouble at all mate, and it was surprisingly good quality... have a practice at cutting it as the steel insert is like a articulated chain, if you cut carefully between each of the metal clips inside, you get a neat end that stays in shape, but if you just crop it randomly you could squash one of the little links flat and the end closes up... you'll see what I mean, have a practice and like I did, order a metre more than you need, it's not expensive as you can see...
