The work on my little bicycle trailer box has begun! I will say right off the bat that I am by no means a skilled wood worker, but I do enjoy it, and with most projects like this I have a general idea as to what I want, but am flexible.
The box that I used last weekend was a Pelican case that I made some modifications to. It works like a charm, but is some wicked heavy. Not something that I would wish to haul around behind a bicycle for any length of time.
The new box will be constructed of 1/4″ bead, and cove cedar. not unlike what is used to build a canoe. Glued together, and then fiberglassed, it should be both beautiful, and functional.
This is what I have managed to do so far. The bottom of the box has been glued up, and a channel routed along the inside edge. Cedar strips have been milled, and rough fitted.
I’ll keep you all posted as I progress. Wish you could be here to smell this cedar as it is being cut.
Calling for sunny weather on Sunday. Hope to get out and do some more work with the camera.
