This isn't the actual box frame for the rear box. Just quick a pine prototype to work out the kinks. One issue I found so far. The box needs to mount approximately 1.5 inches away from the back of the seat. If not, the box lid will not open all the way. Two of the three boxes need staining and lettering. Still, need to build cradles for them to sit in. After that, design/build/install the rifle rack. This project should be finished next week.

Very nice. I like the idea of the sled for the gear. Creative.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Very sharp-looking wood sled, ChuckCook. And I agree with your comment earlier about "no wheels." Will be interested to learn what you finally do after your field test.

Finally had time today to finish the gun cart. Added steel runners, wood boxes and long gun rack. It's been a fun project, but I'm glad it's finished.

That sure looks great. Very nice work. Next time you go to a shoot, we need a photograph of you and the cart together.
