cheap side by side summer box.
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2014 3:23 am
had some spare time today with cold and windy weather so cobbled together new box for the buggy. been wanting a wide open summer box for some time and was gonna go metal or aluminum but had all kinds of wood left over from my parents house project. so put it to good use. all the wood was scraps laying around and with some hardware and undercoating picked up project was the right price!
1 1/4 inch dowls fit into holes in side by side box. used hole saw and cut into 2x4s so fit tight then screwed also. door i stole from old double decker box on flatbed truck. rest of it put together on the fly. top storage sides are 1x6s, but gonna add to that and possibly put lid. floor of storage and top of box 3/4 inch plywood. sprayed down with cheap poof can undercoating. wasnt hardly dry come hunt time but gonna hit again.
of course even though wind was horrible had to put it to use tonight. LOL.
the old box.
took pics of new one while building.
time to hunt and test out. took minn,trix,shadow, and bubba. pics of box and one tree from tonight.
single.
trix and shadow posing, i think trix is showing better than retard shadow.
bubba talking.
minn sitting back like usual.
