Who said free things couldn't be cool?

On Saturday, my friend Tiffany and i decided to get together and hang out. Well it just so happened that her dad had to go to work for a little bit and took us with. He works at Garst as an automotive engineer  ( he's kind good at it too, he's working on his 5th patent!)
 So while we were there, we asked him if he would make us a box. (out of sheet metal) He said sure and set us up to cut the metal with this manual metal cutter. It was pretty cool.
Once we got all six sides cut, gave them to him, we got a little distracted with a heavy parts lifter. We hooked a office chair to the chain and started to pull each other up with it. It was pretty sweet!
After a while of playing with it, we started to play hide and go seek. It was really fun because there were about four or five combines that were open and we could run up in and hide in them.
After a while, i went and checked on my box and he was done with the box and working on the lid.
After about five minutes, he took me over to a cabinet labeled WARNING CONTENTS ARE FLAMMABLE!!! When he opened the cabinet, it was full of industrial spray paint! I choose red for the box and black for the inside. Here are some pics

This is the outside of the box
 Top of the box ( he made this by a sheet of metal)
This is the inside of the box (he sealed the cracks so now it won't leak!)

I thoroughly love this box, anyone else?
