Step 3: Prepare the handle
First lesson for DIY-projects: never throw away any scrap. I found some pieces of aluminium and some steel tube and decided to give them a seond life. You can use any material you like, of course.
Cut everything into the right size, and look out for some big wood bolts.
Drill holes in the sides of the handle and use a hammer to smash the quartered end of the bolts into the aluminium.
I didn't want to spend lots of time, so I filled the steel tube with chemical anchor and put the two prepared pieces into place.
Ten minutes later: some sanding and the only thing I had to do was to drill some holes in the downside of the handle to attach it to the box.
Final phase: paint it.
