Bocce Ball Crate

this is excellent!
That reminds me to move my bocce ball set – out of sight, out of mind – we didn’t play it at all last year. Hmm.

The box really is beautiful. Love the rope handles. Well done!

Nice project, I guess I’ll have to make one for our bocce balls.

Dido on the bocce ball set coming out of the closet. I haven’t played that a forever, I need to drum up one of these boxes too.

Nice project.

That looks like a really nice place to put your balls.

Excellent idea. We bought a croquet set for the yard that came in a plastic carrying bag. I’ll just have to find a way to carry the mallets. I definitely have the scrap wood for it. Thanks Blake.

Nice Box, run the rope through some Rubber Tubing(for Handles), Makes it easier on the hands.

What are the inside dimensions of the box?

My Bocce Balls are at the lake.

Pardon me, but what in the cat hair are Bocce Balls? Never heard of it-them. Rand

lilredweldingrod… its kind of like lawn bowling.

Dick… there are lots of different sizes of Bocce balls. I am not sure if mine are “regulation” (whatever that means) or not. You should measure your balls (ha ha.)

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Thanks Blake!

I guess we’ll have to take a trip to measure my balls. Yup!

I could make a rustic box with my Logman tenon maker.

That could be a good project this summer while I’m up there.

I have a plastic set, & a wooden set, & they’re different in size.

My wooden set came with a lousy Palina, so I made one on my lathe.

A set of bocce balls would make a good lathe project.

I guess I’ll have to add that to my list.
