I had been looking for a CMP toolbox for some time, when Maurice offered me one with the lid missing. So, I had to fabricate a new lid, handle, get a new latch and replace the hinges.

Hanno offered his toolbox to use as a template.
The first lid I made was around a wooden form, but sadly the lid was slightly too small. The second lid I fabricated was done using the forming tools that can be clamped in the vice. This worked OK, but this lid was too wide in one direction and too narrow in the other....even though I had made a small test piece before starting on the lid! I didn't fancy making a third one, so I cut the lid diagonally and welded it together again after lining it up with the box.
