I'm wondering how to make a simple coin box safe. I've seen boxes where they are folded into a box shape, welded, drill a hole for the quarters to go down, and put inside concrete block.

Anyone have a diagram info?

Come on now, you’ve got to be kidding. Make your own coin box safe, it’d take a lot of time and effort to make a good looking stainless steel safe. Why not just spend a little money and buy a decent one from Kleen-Rite like SKU:CBS3000 for $285.33.

The equipment you'd need and the cost of buying only a small amount of the materials would never make it worth doing unless you were planning to mass-produce them.

Well, then buy one from KR, or better, someone that has one with the high security cover option like Coleman, and copy it. You'll spend several hundred dollars for the Model, probably thousands to replicate it, a few times. Or you can buy the ready made ones and if you desire, ad an improvement or two.

Are you looking for one for a vacuum or a wash bay. I had to make some for one wash I was building for the SS bays. I used 4 inch square tube steel embedded in a concrete stem wall. It has worked out great.

I'm looking for the vacuum and wash bays. At my wash they both look the same. Does anyone have a design?
