lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Made a few little ferret boxes, they are small lightweight ones for 2 jills, they are made from 6mm 5 ply and 3mm for the backs. I then primed undercoat and glossed them. A couple will be gifted to my mates. ATB 6 Quote Link to post

lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I pinned and glued the back in just a little bigger then I cut the excess 3mm off with a hacksaw blade ( not in the saw). I then sanded down and cut out the door section with a tennon saw. I made the catches from stainless and I cut the hinges out of some old stainless piano hinge. 1 Quote Link to post
