Garden Tool Carrier

It is finally done, it turned out pretty good, though the ends are not quite perfect. So I will plan to keep my day job (I hope). Next, the garden fountain? A very productive weekend. Number 1 disappointment, Fairway did not have pork bellie so no homemade bacon.

Size: O.D. 14 3/4 “ L x 8” W x 9” T, I.D. 13 3/4” L x 7.5” W x 4” T

Parts:

1 – rubber covered extruded aluminum handle (dumpster treasure from Bell Labs days, I knew I saved it all these years for something)

2 – 4” x 14 3/4” side pieces, oak (reclaimed from dresser drawers)

2 – 7.5” x 9“ end pieces, oak, Drunken Gothic Arch shape

1 – 1/4“ hardware cloth, 10” x 19” (metal screen base)

4 – inside corner brackets for the screen base

4 – oak strips for the screen base

14 – 1” x 6 brass round head screws (6 screws hold the screen base in place)

Notice I did not include any end on pictures.

I also put some polyurethane on it (after the photos) to protect the wood in case I forget to bring it in out of the weather. OOOO I can’t wait to use it.
