    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.

    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 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.
