I started this project a long time ago and then it was abandoned for other projects. But as spring-time gets closer to arriving here in central NY, I figured it was about time to get this project wrapped up. So I dug out my gear and took some measurements and got started. I wanted to have all the back country kitchen essentials right at hand to make it that much easier to get out of town at a moments notice and know that I didn’t forget something important.
I’m not the best woodworker, as you’ll see in the video, but I’m good enough to get the job done. I still have a few things that I want to take care off before this chuck box goes out for its maiden voyage. Here’s the short list:
– paint to seal the wood
– weather stripping around the doors
– better latches
– retention cables to keep the doors from opening too far
– carrying handles
– compartments to mitigate shifting contents
– possibly legs to make this a free standing unit
