I also put some foam under this and tape it to fork,

make sure to put front wheel qr somewhere safe....
cut a short length of pvc to fit between the dropouts, insert the qr skewer.
drop the fork leg into a block of foam padding, cut to fit the bottom corner of the box.


when i'm done, use twine or thin rope to make a mesh net around the box. helps hold it all together.
add some rope handles with pvc pipe grips so's the baggage guys don't grab the handhole cutouts and tear the box. that also gives them a clue as to which end goes up.
