That way there was less cutting to do...but you have to be careful about the mount and the screw handles.Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-16484681748113685032017-02-10T14:20:22.318-07:002017-02-10T14:20:22.318-07:00Where did you grind--all the way around the stainl...Where did you grind--all the way around the stainless box?Ted Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671742980328483612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-10702826512801359582014-02-26T15:34:33.924-07:002014-02-26T15:34:33.924-07:00If you can make one that will fold up like a trans...If you can make one that will fold up like a transformer into a 5 pound briefcase, it would be perfect. ;-)Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773370276862539169.post-65691289586406401902014-02-26T15:24:22.146-07:002014-02-26T15:24:22.146-07:00Don't you like dinghys and the related fun?
