Latest from TacklboxesRUs
This a continued evolution (I hope) of the "Bleacher-style" tackle box, for display...for the boat?...not so much....but it still works to intent. Opens to 25" with internal hinges instead of external hinges used in past iterations. Makes for a bit sleeker look, methinks. Leather strap added to back to prevent droopy drawers when carrying. Extensions added to legs to allow some flexibility in display. Now I need to design one of these for reels...

The beer bladder is an add-on for extra charge thanks for the pats, guys and yes John, stupid number of hours in it... mainly because i never do the same thing twice the same way! I’m going to try hard to repeat this one using different woods... and maybe a carving of Homer Simpson with a can of Duff! Doh!!

Very nice blend of wood, John. It’s like a masculine jewelry box. Great craftsmanship. The prop up leg is really neat.
Did you create that great leather handle also? If not, where can I order one for a vintage Florida built box I have?
