The final product of the lowbox is made entirely out of wood, screws, and a whole lot of hard work. It features the three levels of tool storage along with the ramps and containers to hold the tools and glide down, a wire to keep them all together, and guiding rails along the side to keep the containers from veering off the sides too far. Me (Cameron), Owen, and Anthony spent 5 hours in the mix working 30 minutes after it closed to bring it all together in a functioning state, at first we tried gluing the pieces together, but since the wood is warped that quickly proved fruitless. That was when Anthony had the idea to drill holes in all the pieces that Owen carefully cut out and cut in half. It worked great and it was much much faster and sturdy than the wood glue method. We had to measure and remeasure, abandon some features that proved impossible to implement, and finally string all of the containers together to make the final Lowbox (V1)

Newest product has side rails to guide every part of the containers down the ramps and a roof to make it appear more like a toolbox. Containers are also going to include a mechanism to ease operational issues.
