Needing something to store my newly constructed Finger plate in. I initially looked at wooden boxes sold by “The Works” (after a recommendation by a fellow Guild member). However when I looked at them, they may well be good for storing rolling stock in which is what the recommendation was for, but they are far too flimsy to store reasonably heavy tools in.

Chris took it upon herself to look for alternatives and found some on Amazon. Although they offered a 20% discount if you bought five, I opted to buy one at £6.99 to see what they were like.

The box arrived today and I have to say that I was impressed. They were £2 more than those at The Works which had actually been reduced from £6.99 to £5 but they are much more substantial. I cut some foam to create some packing around the finger plate. It’s a little too short in height to hold it with the jack screw fitted but that’s not the end of the world.
