-- Hey you dang woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!!!!

Wonderful looking trunk, what a great job.

Looking good. hope my wife don’t see this.

I love it. This inspires me to think about the barrel top lid on future projects.
I hope your sister has it displayed well in the home.

Great looking trunk, well done.

Very nice trunk, I like the addition of the wheels. I thought about doing that to some of my chests and trunks but I thought it would look tacky. But it fits right in with your trunk.

I have to say your shop in the background looks awfully neat and tidy. Are you sure you are a woodworker? (just kidding) I am used to my shop with stuff everwhere and out of order and where gasoline and a match would only improve things.

Also like your 100 year trunk refurbish.

Very sharp. Lots of trunks out there….few stand out. Nicely done.

As nice as the truck is, I really like your ROOMY shop. Nice! I’m guessing you made a little wiggle room in the grooves in the four top pieces due to the curve. The use of paneling sure reduces the weight without sacrificing strength. Great Job!

I could see me filling that with tools. Very nice tools too.

I have to laugh at the shop comments. This was a great place to work but I shared it with 2 cars. It is the back of a deep garage and was perfect for a shop. I had everything on wheels and would roll all the shop to the back of the garage to get the cars in.
Notice the past tense… we have since relocated to the Saint Louis area (Old Monroe) where my shop is a little smaller but still nice. It occupies part of a large basement and has an overhead door to the outside. Heated & air conditioned along with the house. Not bad especially since it was all unfinished and I could build it from scratch.
I have it isolated from the house so noise and dust do not enter the living area. No HVAC return vents.

Where did you purchase or acquire the hardware for this?

Wow, this is really great. I’m terribly impressed.
