In this review, the author makes a portable tool box from an ordinary plastic canister. On the farm, this homemade product is always useful.
First of all, using a ruler and a marker on the canister, you need to make markup.
Next, using a clerical knife, it will be necessary to cut the canister into two parts. See the photo below.

The main stages of work
At the next stage, it will be necessary to cut through the rectangular "windows" in the upper part of the halves of the plastic canister.
First, draw a rectangle, then drill holes at the edges, and cut with a clerical knife.
Next, we attach clips to two bolts for fixing plastic pipes in one of the halves of the canister.
After that, we drill two holes in the upper part of each half, and connect them with rivets. You can use some other method of fastening if there are no rivets.
To prevent the edge of the plastic from being pressed into the palm when carrying the box, the author uses a piece of PVC hose.
