[Dan in Pasadena]

Thanks guys. Yes, I'm pleased it's now got a 2nd life. I remember my dad using it when I was still a little boy so (gulp!) 60 years ago, sheesh!

My girlfriend asked why I didn't make it match the bed wood? But it's made of scraps my dad had in the garage. The bottom is bad plywood and the sides are old Doug fir fence boards all put together with ordinary nails, no finish nails. I set the nail heads as best I could, skimmed it multiple times with Plastic wood, sanded, sanded, sanded and put multiple coats of primer before painting.
