Re: Crate

Didn't do that this year, but I have in past years. One year, my crate was overweight by about 10 lbs, with just the bare-bones necessities in it. So, rather than take some stuff with us on the plane, we put a 70 lb suitcase worth of tools and parts and tossed it in the crate to ship it. We were going to be charged for an extra 100 lbs on the shipping anyways, so why not save the airline "heavy bag" charge while we were at it?
