Default platform totes

It's not fine woodworking and I'm not sure what to call them because they
are unique.

These "things" started with the idea that I wanted to make some low benches
to be used as a standing platform for painting, taping or whatnot.
Secondarity, them would serve as a low saw horse. Sometimes it's nice to be
able to stand over your work. I find that I can hand-drill veritical holes
more accurately from above. Then I had the thought: why not incoporate some
storage for carting tools and supplies to and from a work area?

My criteria we

1. Stable and big enough to stand on comfortably (12x30x14h).
2. Easy to to pick up with one hand (light as possible and with a centered
handle that would not be stepped on)
3. Free... all recyled scrap from a recently demolished shed.
4. Stackable

The handles are different so that the totes could accommodate differently
shaped contents.

3/8" T111 siding for the pannels, 1/2" ply for the top and 2-by stock cut
down for the frame.
