Anyone have any good ideas or pics of what they did?
Look for them on CL
They have them scattered around on that site under Sporting
Search YouTube for “JDS outdoors”. He has a video titled something like “power box version 2”. I followed that and it’s been a great box.
x2 on JDS Outdoors.
His instructions were really clear and easy to follow; I made a couple just the other week. He has a good video for making your own LED light strips too. If you look around to there are some cool addons and ideas out there too. I added a glowry hole from icehole power in place of a cigarette lighter adapter.

Doesn’t look like the ones I’ve heard of…
Yep; pretty much what my buddies said to when I showed them.

Did you let them try it for themselves?

Glow-ry Hole jig charging cup? I guess it sounds about the same.

I’ve heard of some strange sh!t going on in ice houses, but…
Reminds me of the other “What the…” IDO thread title:
Locating the hole in a 2 man flip over.
I’m not here to judge…

I am sure there are about 7 million posts and videos all over the place. I mounted my power box to my K drill.

I gotta see your K-drill…Sounds like you use it for everything…Ever cut your steaks with it?
I didn’t see the need for a heavy box dedicated just for power when I can carry along a Lithium Ion jump starting pack in my pocket for a fraction of the cost and a lot less weight than what these things are selling for….but I do like to tinker so I built something a bit different.
The “power box” I threw together has the standard stuff you see on the commercialized versions. USB outlets, a 12v outlet, lights, blah blah blah. Where it’s different is that I picked up a marine stereo with built in speakers off of Amazon and a small car antenna that folds down and built a radio box. I have less than $50 invested into the thing and oddly enough I rarely take it on the ice. The jump starting pack works just as well and isn’t as bulky. I will use my contraption in the woods cooking maple syrup or working in the garden. I suppose I could throw some lithium batteries in it to lighten it up but it still takes up space in my sled.
