Gazza.H.18 2 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I posted a post last week about ferret box pictures and designs , and i decided to make myself a new one . I had some spare plywood sheeting pieces around from work so i made it from that , i used half inch for my base as thats were its going to get its wear and tear so thought better be safe than sorry . then i made the rest sides, back, front etc.. from quarter inch ply , i decided that i wanted a bow back box that cud hold two large ferrets . Heres a few pictures for you lot to see . I decided to put a light stain on the box just so it looks tidy and original. Then i added the final bit the strap , now its all ready for me to use on my next outgoing , its strong enough to sit on , and fits great in my side with its bow back . Hope you all like . And i would recommend anyone having ago at making one themselves great fun . Gazza Quote Link to post

john hubery 9 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Gazza nice box I know I have to make a living but I do like to see young lad's having a go and making there own gear, it's right what has been said about the strap after a day up and down the dales it does cut in after awhile, and not a major problem but if your making your own box don't varnish the inside as some times it can sweat a little, but as siad yes nice job Quote Link to post
