Camp Chuck Box

[Pitchy]

We made a camp chuck box yesterday and today, the legs on the table fold up flat for transport.

Nice, Lenn. Are you building these projects out of the pine from your mill? Must be very satisfying.

[Pitchy]

Thanks Bill, yep lumber is off the mill.

[Grizz]

man Oh man, that is crazy fast work!

love the cleat! a handle plus a tie-down when the wind is howling!

what is the finish you use? sorry if you already answered this...

[Pitchy]

Thanks Grizz, Just some Golden Oak stain on it now.

[Pitchy]

Didn`t like the wobbly table under it so built a wood base, much better.

Leather straps for hinges?

Leather straps for hinges?

Nope metal hinges, the straps hold the top and side closed, have a slit in the end of the top leather that hooks over a screw.

or you could build a conastoga wagon and attach the cook's box to it, like the good old days. fast as you work, you'd be done in a two or three days. you could tow it with the Harley, or 4-wheeler, or a couple of mules even.

a very versitile and genteel way to enjoy the days and nights... blankets and hot chocolate while watching the moon rise on a starry night.....

Will you marry me
I`ve been wanting to build one for years but can`t get Norma into the thought, yet.

[Grizz]

NO.

[Grizz]

HOWEVER, you could ease your wife into it. start with a buckboard and some hay rides.. then stake sides... to keep the hay and firewood on... etc. you could disguise it further by using car wheels and axles, and building the wagon wheels later.. a multi part project

Actually we have the astro, all wheel drive Radio , bed and toilet.

[M. M. Wright]

Oh yeah! SUPER Just throw that in back of your van and you're ready to go.

[piller]

That would be useful for camping or a lot of other activities. The uses are nearly unlimited. Totally cool!

[fordwannabe]

Wow! Pithy very well thought out. When I was in BOY scouts, we had a chick box for summer camp. Even us young strong and DUMB kids thought it was a little heavy for hike in trips
Well done.

[OldWin]

That's pretty neat. Good work.
That would be slick on a 4 wheeler rack or a sled in winter.

[Pitchy]

Thanks everyone

[gamekeeper]

Anyone call you Wishbone ? Like in Rawhide.... great workmanship as usual.....

[Ysabel Kid]

Very nice Pitchy! Reminds me of the ones we build for the Boy Scouts.
