Final Product

The suitcase was an Amazon Basic that I gutted and added a 1/2” plywood box to the interior. Four more wheels were added to each half to help with the weight distribution and allow the suitcase to be opened almost 180 degrees on stage. Everything was made to be removable and we used plastic bottles and mason jars for safety. An exterior strap was used to make a quick reveal and the pop rivets created a more aesthetic look for the strap.
