It's 18"x32"x40".I made it with wood from old pallets,hope it works as well as I think it will.Just thought I'd show you all some pictures of it.

skunkskinner,
How much plaining and sanding did
you have to do to get that look from pallet
wood?
snake-eyes :hmm:

 

[skunkskinner]

The wood came from the john deer dealership,"big pallets"I dont know what kind of wood it is.I plained 1/16" off of each side.Before I stained it I took a hammer, screwdriver,chisel and a chain and beat the heck out of it,I call that process texturizing.You can't see it in the picture but it does make it look good.

You went and took off all that spendy green and yellow paint? :rotf:

Great looking box, the barrel notches are a great feature.

That looks like southern yellow pine. Do you have the legs fitting in sockets behind the end boards?
Not that I'm trying to steal your design or anything... :grin:

 

[skunkskinner]

Yes, The legs slip in the socket,it is very simple to set up and to store.
