Couldn't resist any longer. I now have a Classic Air Graver and I've got it set up as a fully portable system. :D
I've got a little web page about it here (http://www.svandyke.com/GRS/boh/main_gallery.php) but I'll recap most of it here as well.
Click on the thumbnail images to get the full size image where you can see better. They'll open up in a separate window because I prefer that.

This is the box itself. Just a $10 one we found at Wal-Mart.

The box has some nice little storage bits in the lid, the side ones of which slide out for easy access.

When you open it you start to see the goodies!

Here you can see them better - the little magnifier and, of course, the AirGraver.

Under the tray you start with a folder I keep my instructions and such in and my rolled up apron.

Under those, my Lindsay Sharpening system (neatly wrapped in shop towels to keep it nice)

And under that, the 20oz tank, regulator, foot pedal, small vise, and vise accessories (again, neatly packaged)

Here you can see the crude brackets I made out of aluminum strip and pop-riveted into place so the CO2 tank and vise won't slide around. The vise holder is up off of the bottom to make sure it holds the vise

Unwrapped the sharpening stuff so you can see it. The templates are what I keep in the bag.
I still need to make one more bit - a simple holder to secure the tank against the box so it can't be tipped over. Just need to bend and rivet some more aluminum strip.
The AirGraver is working great! I'll do another post on that. :thumbsup:
