Anyone made a storage box for there columns, I move every few years and was thinking of a way to pack it up when I move soon.

I bought a few of the masters butchers plastic tubs ,they are heavy duty and keep everything safe and dry,with a couple of old towels to stop any scratching,not cheap but do the job well.I actually sent my bros still from Perth ta Melbourne in a couple as well.I would not go wood or cardboard because of moisture and pestilence ,I also got plastic caps from FSD for all ferrules so you can seal everything up when you store or move,and a few old Tupperware tubs for plates and clamps and spare seals.cheers hillzabilly ;-)
