Silverware drawer

A dedicated Silverware drawer would be nice

Another camp site..

The latest Chuck box

I'm building this one as a gift. The plywood floor and 1-1/2" space in front of the shelves is something new. The space in front of the shelves and drawers should give room for hanging towels or pot holders.

Stoves

 

We have used the single burner stove in the fore ground for yeas and it works fine. The only issue is that it has no wind break so I've had to rig one up occasionally...
 

The old stand-by just works....

Progress

OK, here's Chuck Box #2
 

 

 

 

 

 

Materials

1/8 inch plywood can be used if it has a frame or proper support. I think a good urethane varnish is important, this material is not designed for out doors.

Pine is pretty light weight and strong. I think ¾ inch pine vertical pieces would not add much to the weight, would look nicer, handles beer openers, towel bars etc. will mount easier than they do on the framed ⅛ plywood. Also I could use the router to make slots for the shelves saving the trouble of cutting all kinds of ¾ x ¾ little pieces.

Hard woods are heavier than pine and might be a good choice for some.

3/4 plywood is way too heavy

Particle board or MDF is way too heavy and will not hold up when it gets wet.

Drawers

Wood drawers are very cool, but they do add weight. For now I'm going with 99 cent plastic shoe boxes. They are washable available everywhere and at .99 if one breaks no biggie.
