Got bored....then got constructive

Its been cold as of late and I have been bored so I was out in the garage the other day cleaning up and reorganizing and lots of scrap lumber just sitting around here and there in the garage as well as the shed at my kennels. Also has some extra horse paneling left from when I built my kennels and slapped this little dude together in a couple hours of tinkering. Thought I had been needing a box to use during the summer anyways.







Let me just say that yes it is heavy and if I had to buy the lumber it wouldnt have been near as weighty as it is but it gets the scraps out of my way and its something I can use. Also have enough to fix another stand like I have for my unique box. Just back up to it and pull it on the stand or shove it on truck and driver off. No help needed.

Wish I could find someone local to build something along those lines for the back of my Bronco!! I don't need or want a fully enclosed box since I want them to be able to feel the heat and a/c, and I also want to be able to see them.

good lookin box. good craftsmanship

Did a great job there, it looks very well made.

Thanks for the compliments. I have to say there is not a wobble to it which amazed me. Finally got some good quality power tools for Christmas and its nice to know the difference in workmanship when you got the right tools and as I said when I posted my kennel pix some time back I am by no means gifted in the carpentry world. Built my kennel doors with a hand saw and mitre box and I have to be the only person alive that cant make a 45 degree cut with one and therefore I have been unhappy with the doors for 2 years now but thats going to change come summer. Goodbye mitre box and HELLO mitre saw. And if no one has ever used one of the small 18 volt impact drivers let me just say that after about 2 pounds of phillips head screws not a single one has been stripped where I would have with a cordless drill/driver. Got the new 5 pc RIGID combo kit and wouldnt trade for another brand out there and would highly recommend them to everyone. Have built this box, cornhole sets, workbench and shelving on first battery where my 'el cheapo Skil wallyworld special would have crapped out 2-3 times. Sawsall=great, hammer drill/driver=great, work light with standard flouresent bulb=great (will come in handy fishing season, has a 6 hr burn time per battery), circle saw=lightning fast, much faster than my electric, and the micro impact=best tool there is at driving screws without stripping.

nice job looks real nice only thing i would add is a set or runner on the bottom it would sure help sliding it on and off due to only having the bottom of the runners creating drag

wayne, i thought of that to which my 11 yr old reminded me that I had a plastic bed liner which everything slides on, the stand had rollers on it, and if Im going to put them on it I may as well put them on the diamond plate box too. He says whats the difference so I thought he may actually have a point so I figured what the heck, I'll leave them off. Huh, kids, who thought they knew things.
