Cherry ferret box in the making

[Trapper 0]

Hello

 

I'm in the process of making a ferret box.

this is how far I have got ,I dont know weather to have it split in half,or have one for the ferrets and a smaller section for equipment like locater and some nets. the section that will hold the ferrets is going to have a lid on .so there will be a main lid to open,then another to get at the ferrets.

Looking very neat and tidy but also looks very heavy..

lovely looking bit of wood, remember to drill air holes in it, but sod carrying that all day, I reckon it looks heavy too

how much does it weigh? a few big hobs in it and you wont beable to lift it lol, sitll looks tidy good luck with the ferreting.

Looks very nicely made mate... almost too good to drag around the bush getting scratched up and dinged. Got to say that it does look a little on the heavy side but looks can be deceptive Good workmanship and all the best.

hello

 

Its not soilid cherry so its not that heavy,its cherry ply .it may not even be used, as i'm not in the uk at the minute (canada) and ferrets are a hundred dollars or so a pop here and sold in pet shops,also you cant breed from them! if I can get it home without too much space in my suitcase then I will take it home ,if not, its time to make a small one for a jill or so. (watch this space) .This is just a bit of fun to make the days at work go faster!

That looks solid mate did you not fancy a go at making a bow back ?

Most people use plywood, not too thick as it gets heavy. but if you have permission which you can drive on or go round on a quad then it looks nice.

Go for half n half to give fezzer's room to breath, if it's to heavy, put wheels on it eh!

Trapper it looks like you have used cherry ply and edged it with a strip of cherry and mitred the corners, nice job, I have used cherry ply myself in cabinet making it has a very nice finish and when polished up the grain really stands out sould be a smart and usable box, the weight is no diferant to normal ply, will look well with brass fittings
