Oak Box for work

And I thought that you were just kidding about the criminals comment. (Actually I would have expected a car seat or two to be honest.) But I see you were serious.

This is a nice box and the fact that it has held up so well is a reflection of the craftmanship that went into its construction.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

My one nephew is a Trooper and the other is a traveling repairman. Both carry tons of books and tech manuals. This is a great way to keep organized and protect your paperwork. The dividers are simple and quite effective…good idea.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Very sturdy looking box, and great job on the burning!

Maybe you should make up a brochure of hand made coffins to show your criminal clientele, asking which one would they like. Maybe a good deterrent. I also love that you carry the good book in there too. Tell them you personally know God and he’s sending them a message and your are it.

Nice looking job. I glad I don’t see a spot for a radar gun!

I like this box, I love that it’s so functional and useful, yet shows care and the burning is really nice. Kudos from a fellow Illinois woodworker! (And thanks for your service)

Bradford- I like the idea of the hand made coffins… one of my last Master Sergeant’s used to refer to my wooden box as my coffin. After I built it, others started doing similar things like it, and she used to say that the parking lot at headquarters looked like a graveyard with all the coffins… lol…

Gary- the Radar unit is mounted on the front and rear dash, the laser radar sits in the front seat with me… out of luck there …. lol..

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate them

Hi Steve

Have office will travel. Great idea you had there. Wood burning adds a personal touch to it. Thanks for posting.

Criminals kick, scream and spit? The heck you say! And when they get to prison they kick, scream, spit and throw Poo-Poo.

God Bless

I like the Instruction Manual you there – the ultimate reference no matter where you are. I think I’d like to copy your box design to organize the cab of my truck as well. Nice job!

Lots of jobs have lots of paperwork. Nice job of organizing yours.

I could use one of those for my car. I do a lot of traveling and need some organization of papers. Thanks for the post.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Nice , & also useful box.

Maybe you can get the state patrol to have you furnish these for all of their cars.

The only bad thing about it, you may have to quit your regular job.

When I first saw the photo, I hoped Steve was a cop, not the back seater! Not many folks have a divider like that in the family sedan. <g>

Nothing like a good, criminal-proof oak box. Maybe we should all send our projects to Steve for durability testing.

Nice job on the burn. Be safe out there!

LOL… thanks Barry.
