[TheForge] How to carry coal, stock, and tools? (Related to Lightweight Forges)

I agree with David. I used wooden rocket boxes to hold tools until I found steel ammo boxes at a good price. Ammo boxes have a gasket to keep them water-tight.

There are lots of surplus heavy-duty military wooden boxes available (originally for munitions and such). Rope handles, sometimes with hasps you can lock. Great for transporting and storing tools and stuff.

Square wooden boxes then. Minimal dead space between them, but can be 
configured to make slots for things like tools and stock. 
Nice heavy boxes like they used to ship things in in the early 1900's, 
rope handles.
