[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 667043, member: 39764"] It appears to be a good home built transport case, hopefully assembled with pressure treated plywood or waterproof glue, stainless fasteners and good water resistant paint and sealer. Riding in a truck bed, it will assuredly get wet and probably banged around. I too would devise some type of seal around the edge of the lid and base to exclude moisture. Could be a simple rubber bulb type weatherstrip to a routed channel with a rubber strip inserted. It's probably heavy, one consideration in transport cases shipped via air. A transport case has to be lightweight but strong and has to meet the TSA mandate that it can't be compromised (opened more than a crack with the locks applied). Heavy equares to additional baggage charges levied..... We can all thank 911 and the government's 'knee jerk' reaction for all the extra security now. IMO, the only thing that changed was added personnell, added aggrivation and added cost. The 'security' end of the equation don't seem (to me) to have improved at all. The grief and inconveninece has, however. [/QUOTE]
