I really enjoy these types of anecdotes. Was the case with a bolted-on handle military themed? My buddy had one of those!

Not on purpose, but it did look like an extra large ammo can by accident. I had green and black spray paint so I painted it green with black stenciled letters on the side.

Beautiful. That’s exactly what I was imagining!

Oh, no, whatever you're imagining it was much worse. However, I will always love it. I've built a lot of ugly but functional things in my life, but that's probably the first significant one.
