FABRICATION OF A TOOLBOX

PROCEDURES SCREENSHOT/S

Base of the Toolbox


Step 1:

Get your metal ready (with the


measurement you want)

And layout your operational lines,


identify the corners to be cut out, layout
the notches, and identify the sequence
of the operation lines,.
Step 2: Cut the
notches.

Step 3:

Fold the operational lines using folding


machine.

Note! Follow the sequence of your


operational lines, bent the end/outer
operational lines first (90˚).

Sheet Metal End Layout


Step 4:

Get your sheet metal, and double check


the size (length and width).

And then layout your reference points,


chamfers.

Step 5:

Cut the corners using squaring shears


(or any machine you have).

Step 6:

Fit the ends to the base to see if further


adjustments are to be made.

And if there’s adjustment to be made,


then correct it.
Step 7:

Connect the two pieces together using


spot wielding.

Note! Use any available method you


have.

Sheet Metal Cover Layout

Step 8:

Prepare your metal, and check if the


size (length and width) is with
accordance to your layout plan.

And at the same time, layout your


reference points, guidelines, and
notches, locate handle mount holes,
latch holes.
Step 9:

Cut all the notches.

Step 10:

Fold all the sides with accordance to the


order of operations using folding
machine (mostly at an angle of 90˚).
Step 11:

Layout the hinge. And connect it to the


base by spot wielding.

Then after that, connect the top to the


hinge.

Note! Triple check everything before


connecting the top.

Step 12:

Install the corners using pop rivets.

Handle
Step 13:

Layout your handle pieces.

And after checking the measurements.


Drill a hole.

Then connect the two using pop rivets.

Step 14:

Install the catch and the latch.

Then after that, you are done.


CONCLUSION:
A toolbox is composed of three different parts: the base of the toolbox, the sheet metal
end, and the sheet metal cover. And that in order to fabricate a toolbox, certain equipment and
machines are needed to be used, like (but not limited to): a folder machine, a welding machine, a
drill press, a metal clamp, and materials such as rivets, etc. And that, unlike the previous
projects/activities, this one needs a lot of practice, patience, and precision in order for this
project to be made.
