That is a beefy string gauge. Wow!

Great idea, Pick! Yeah, the battery is kind of lacking. I like the rest.

Thanks, guys!

BrianQ - not heavy at all, the box is quite lightweight.

The anonymous pick - that's advice I should maybe listen. Although it is empty battery, I try to search something similar and red, less harmful.

Uncle John - I'm glad I saved those metal boxes you intended to toss :)

Awesome looking ,  but,  a piece of advice if i may .  You might wanna swap out that battery for something else ,  under pressure like that it will want to leak , or even  explode , or oooz out that crusty white crap eventually . .  and that's no  fun . not to mention , it is a soft metal and something harder will most likely   give you a better sound anyway .

Just my free advice ,.... (and may be worth every penny)   ;-)

Awesome sauce!! What’s the weight like tho?

Hmm.  Rusty and chipped goodness.  Darn you.  I drug home a couple of smaller metal tackle boxes.  Rusty inside.  I was maybe going to toss them, but now I see they might make good didleys.
