Box showoff thread

[sansho]

A nice fellow on here sent some stainless steel foil in one of those. I liked it so much I roll the foil back up and put it back in the packaging when I'm done with it.

what's SS foil used for? never heard of it.
or maybe easier question to answer is what do you use it for.

Heat treating stuff. In my case knives.

When you get some steels up to the temperature needed to form austinite, oxygen starts becoming a problem, it causes decarborization. So you wrap the steel in stainless foil to keep it in an oxygen free environment while heating, and quenching.

Finally hopped on the hype train

Happy to receive this box.

Edit: it's a 50x35cm Hasagawa FSR. Upgrade to my Tenyro Hi-Soft 40x29cm

It seems too good to be true, but these arrived today. You really can get something for nothing; who knew?

Thanks to @M1k3 from the knife shipping etiquette thread I ordered a batch for shipping my BST knives.
Free boxes, no really!

nice. been wanting a toyo/trusco box for a while.

 

[Skylar303]

My box from the otherday... Courtesy of FedEx... I watched the driver throw the box from the truck... I was waiting for the package to arrive. BTW, it would of fit in the mailbox...

LUCKILY, it was only AMMUNITION! And not rocks or knives...

Paid for home delivery... I guess it made it onto my property... Also ammunition requires a signature. So driver didn't care or forged signature...

It's actually illegal for any delivery company to use your mailbox for deliveries. It's supposed to only be used for deliveries by the USPS.

It's still pretty sad how that delivery went down for sure.

One can hope.

[ModRQC]

It’s pushing the envelope indeed…

 

[M1k3]

Wonder if there was any SPAM in it?

 

[ModRQC]

The canned pork or the trouble?

 

[M1k3]

Spam mail.

[ModRQC]

Ah the trouble then... although if you want bulk delivery of dog's food into you the other SPAM seems a way to go.

You sure do buy a lot of Mazakis....

 

[ModRQC]

With the toolbox I’d have rather guessed buying a lot of TFs.
