Early in the spring of 2005, my husband decided to attempt the project of making a "tack box" for our daughters equipment. The barn she was in at the time, had small cubbies for their day to day needs but larger amounts of space for tack boxes. He researched online for plans and consulted with the rider to make the final decision about the type (upright or chest), wood to use, color etc. It was a big project but one he thoroughly enjoyed. The box is made with oak which does make it a bit of a brute for moving around, however, it is on wheels. I expect this box will last a lifetime and be a wonderful reminder of her father's love.
Wow!!! Nathan, you are one talented guy!!! That is just beautiful ... I can hardly wait to see it in person ... and filled!! :)

My husband wants to build a "family of four" tack trunk and this is is almost *exactly* what I want. However, instead of the saddle rack (we have saddle racks in the tack room), I want a rack that can hold coat hangers and protection vests. Could you tell me what the rough dimensions are?
ReplyDeleteEileen, when we're home again (away for the weekend) we'll measure it and send the dimensions.
