Silver Tank Storage Box

In my wet plate darkroom trailer beside the sink I have a cardboard foam filled shipping box that I store my 20x24 inch silver tank in. The shipping box is the original one the Czech builder used to send me the tank. 

After 2-3 years that box is a  soggy whipped up mess. Today Using my new fancy woodworking shop I whipped up a quick WOODEN box to replace it. Much more solid and sturdy, get easy to do.

Will place the funky green painted box next to the sink in the trailer tomorrow. It should provide many years off good service.

Note*  I also need to fix the silver box itself as the bottom wood piece has fallen out!
