These are way too pricey for me at €399, plus shipping from Germany, but there’s plenty of detail in the pics to inform a re-make:

  • Cut out the door
  • Reinforce it from inside with two guy-wires strung to four bolts in the corners
  • Line the cut edges with rubber edge trim
  • Attach a hardware-store handle and latch
  • Oh yeah, and fit some plywood circles into the drum’s grooves for shelves

I might also add a drum dolly, to mine, to make a cool rolling toolbox. [via Dude Craft]
