Potato Bin

Hi Debbie;
—-yes, all you have to do is show me some old barn boards that have been used for projects of wood and I will have to say, WELL DONE!!!

Great work, does the treasure of old barn boards make the potatoes taste any more golden?

GODSPEED,
Frank

lol never thought of that – but I do look forward to going to GET the potatoes. Can’t say I’ve ever thought that before.

Debbie, I like the antique black hardware you chose for your hinges. It compliments the gray wood of the old barn boards.

Glad you got to build a box…any box.
I like old barn wood.

Nice Ms. D. you, as most women do, have a natural instinct for design, color and contrast. Very nice. mike

Hi, Debbie, your Tater Box reminded me of the work of a chap located in Western Australia; I only now him as Garry. He make boxes out of old seeders. He usually removes the old wood, cleans up the cast iron ends, repaints them, and makes customized wood panels to replace the old. I was thinking that in the market farming area around T.O. these seeders are probably readily available. You could do some fantastic boxes with these, and my guess is that rustic barn boards would work just great. The pictures below are linked directly to the site where these are posted. If you want more details, I could probably put you in touch with Garry.

Dennis, Dennis, Dennis—you are my saviour!! All this time, I didn’t know I’d made a box. In my head it was a “bin”.. lol that is too funny. My life is now complete!

Oscorner/Mike: thank you for your kind words. Yes, I didn’t know much about the “how” but I did know what hinges I want. :)

The seeder looks very interesting, Don. “T.O.”, are you referring to Toronto and the Holland Marsh? This is intriguing.. I’d love more information.
