Squaring up an old toolbox

[GymB]

Just started working on it, and it’s about an inch from square in front, pretty close to square in the back. Can I just put a clamp across the long diagonal and apply pressure until it gets square?

note the gap, which is irritating, but the twist also keeps one wheel off the ground which is reall unacceptable.

BTW, this box is going to become a portable casting station. I wanted something I could roll outside.

Try the clamp idea first. Your problem there would be "springback," of course, but it's a cheap & quick 1st try.

EDIT: Find a way to fix the back so you don't just trade front wonky for back wonky.

Yes, you would have to go farther than just square because of the springback.

Ok, I’ll put a pair of clamps on the back to hold it square and then adjust the front by trial and error.

Trade it in on an Epiq!

LOL, the truck man would love that!
This is my first small box, I’ve never had one that I could load and unload in the back of the SUV without help. Just tip it in and out.
The beauty of it is that I don’t think my wife will notice it in the garage. Last week she mentioned that bullets reproduce faster than bunnies, so I’m being cautious.

I still have my first box as well. I understand. It’s about that size also. Wish I had the time at the press to make bunnies look slow!
