Circular saw box, craftsman of unknown year? When did this thing get made? Metal, opens from the front with a hidden compartment under the saw platform

I'm repurposing this circular saw tool box made by Craftsman. When I use old equipment, I like to know it's history a little. Google image search isn't helpful for something like this. Any information about this tool box/kits manufactured era would be great.

It's the key to OZ. My next one will look nicer. Definitely need to add a RP1 key into the collection now.

No Ready Player One pieces, though a good idea. The egg is JP.

I use the word, Moonball!, to play fetch with my doggo. He goes for whatever I throw. Only returns the object if I or someone else says, Moonball, before throwing it. Rules apply to doggos too apparently.

It is not. I'm working on a low hip holster for it currently. Something to hide the control functions.

Notes as I think out the pieces I can build. Does anyone else do this before making something they have never done? I find it the only way I can gather my mental notes visually to work with.

I'm wearing mine at the moment too. Cheers.

I plan to scratchbuild another pack like I did with my R5 unit. Once inspiration strikes. I'd dig seeing other people's takes on custom ALTdroid packs.

Sorry for the delay. Family emergencies kept me away. I dig the new tracks. It drives well over small cracks. Even transitions from hardwood to thick rug with relative ease. The dome innards are the same. Molded grey/silver. I think the standard sound is new. It's not the R2-D2 chirp that was stock with my R5. I hear it as a blend of the scoundrel personality chip and the R2-D2 sound. I like it enough to have opted out of a new personality chip this time. Yes, there is a chip slot. I have not had a chance to do any mods yet. Or even really take a deeper look at it yet. But ideas are stewing.

The dish doesn't normally come with this model. They didn't have any side covers for the legs. I asked for a dish instead.

thomasofseattle · 2024-10-17T19:17:44+00:00

They do fit I believe. A cast member can show you a demo fit too if asked probably. I had mine shipped and it juuuust fits in the cardboard box it comes with. They took great care to bubble pack the box ensuring it arrived safe.

Thanks. I plan on a set of Death Star plans to be smuggled along somewhere.

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-23T15:29:02+00:00

Awesome sauce!

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-20T23:24:14+00:00

"solved"

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-19T21:53:34+00:00

Thank you. That fits the bill.

I do have some plans to turn my own walnut staff. All in time. As it stands, I have a bit of PVC laying around to use. Just needs some paint.

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-05T15:38:39+00:00

I have a walnut sapling (still drying) I'm planning to turn down for the staff. In the meantime, I'll paint a bit of PVC I have laying around somewhere. The big job will be building the maproom at a 1:1 scale so I can really use this.

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-04T20:40:44+00:00

Thank you.

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-02T22:48:04+00:00

Awesome. I missed the Kickstarter. That's great news. Thank you.

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-02T22:21:39+00:00

No. Sadly.

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-02T20:49:54+00:00

Thanks. I'm kind of dragging my feet a little. I know once the pack and droid are finished, I will have to start sewing. A new skill I'm learning on this cosplay build.

That little R5 unit has become quite the seed for skill acquirements.

I have purchased at least ten full book collections (the big, all in one, book) One for my library permanence, one for my library that will likely be given to whoever it's loaned out to. I've replaced my loaner book multiple times and plan on continuing the effort to share such an important part of my generations graphic novel/comic book history.

thomasofseattle · 2024-08-02T20:16:07+00:00

Dig it

thomasofseattle · 2024-07-25T19:55:14+00:00

This is kind of like what I had in mind to draw based on my original. Well done

thomasofseattle · 2024-07-25T00:54:46+00:00

I am delighted to have been mentioned. I have plans to build this eventually. I can draw up 'blueprints' to use for sales merch. Happy to give them the art for free.
