Finally Finished my Wood Box!

[mass_burner]

Its on wheels, and sized so an overflowing 18 gallon bin can fit inside. I used walnut veneer over bamboo flooring, for the structure 1/2 MDF. It can also be used as additional seating or an extra coffer table.

I roll it over the patio sliders, remove the bin, fill it from the porch rack outside the patio (about 20' away) then slip it back into the box and roll back to stove area.

Great job......looks awesome

Looks good. What sort of wheels are you using? I'd keep an eye on you wood floor to make sure you aren't marring it. If the wheels can pick up any sort of debris from your patio they could scratch the bamboo floor possibly.

The box never goes into the patio, just to the doorway. They are rubber/urethane type wheels, all the floors are white oak, so they're pretty tough.

Looks nice MB, I want to make something similar, I have the casters and I have a bunch of leftover bamboo flooring, can you take a pic of the box open?

can someone point me in the right direction? I'm very new to this and would like an antique flatware chest I.d.ed. I've never really gone too far into identifying wood any help would be appreciated

Classy...

I made a rolling wood bin recently. Wish I'd made it years ago. I roll it onto the front porch to get wood from the stacks or roll it into the sun room to transfer wood from the wheel barrow and leave zero wood crumbs behind. Roll it right up to the front of the stove and root through it without getting anything on the floor.

That looks great. Here is something I started the other day using old pallets. I'm going with same concept. I didn't consider wheels but am going to try and add now.

To maximize strength, I used hex bolts and nuts for attach wheels. I also started the lowest course hanging off the bottom of the box to hide the wheels as much as possible, I like that cleaner look.

Thats what I liked about your design. The wheels aren't noticeable. I'm using 3 inch slats so it might work out perfect if I just add another row on the bottom to hide them.

the grain pattern looks like fir or oak, you can't go by the color, since its stained.
