I love that you laugh when you make a mistake instead of getting angry/frustrated. This is the way of a mature man that I'm still working on.

side handles made of rope would look pretty killer. Like a ship carpenters tool chest. A nice looking unit you made there.

What I appreciate most about your how-to's is that you show your "mistakes" like drilling through and the realities of the unexpected in projects.

It's a standard Boy Scout patrol box. 15 yr w the USFS as a jumper and never seen one of these except for a range patrol

It's good to share the challenges as you build including any "whoopsies." Lord knows I seem to have plenty of them in my projects. Thank you for taking us along on the journey for this project and I'm anxious to see the completed version.

Absolutely! The best way to learn is making your own mistakes, second best way is to watch someone else make mistakes. Some might argue it’s the the other way around but for most us making mistakes important part of the learning process.

4 little rubber feet would go well to protect the bottom from getting scratched up ..... great work love these uploads from the UK

i think smooth bottom or some kinda rails would be best. i imagine it makes it easier to slide in the back of a truckbed or van etc. rubber feet would snag on things and eventually brake off

FYI- a tip for consideration: now that the middle shelves are in the bottom square bracing is not needed anymore. Ideally I'd imagine you'd want to be able to SLIDE that Dutch oven in off the flush prep surface right into the bottom of the box without lifting. Also- taking that approach to removing that bottom bracket means the height of implements stored on bottom can be equal to the true height of the bottom of box to bottom of middle shelf. Now its "stealing" 3" of height...

My thoughts exactly, bottom bracket is not necessary.

Just a suggestion. Line top with thin galvanized steel both for add fire safety and easy of cleanup, especially the hopefully frequent bacon grease splatter.

Blocking the inside corners would add to stability and longevity. They don’t take up too much room inside either. Thanks for the entertaining information as always.

Growing up in a "camping" family we had 3 of these that my Dad made. A pretty simple way to limit the travel of the lid and front opening is to get some light duty chain and screw it into the wood. We used to put the camping boxes on those old aluminum fold up legs (sadly they are hard to find now) and the Paulin gas stove also had its own set. You could also get a large food grade plastic cutting board and attach it to the drop down door for food prep. And of course drill some side holes for authentic knotted rope handles! Looking good and waiting for the paint and stencils!

Whether it's replacing an ax handle or building this camp kitchen, your project videos are always my favourite. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to join you in your shop.

I use vix bits when installing hinges, no need for a awl or center punch and you can control you drill depth. Nice kit, reminds me our our scout troop chuckbox.

I bet handles/tie down points would be a nice addition

Our brother Cody OWNS the USFS

doesnt the shelf in the middle eliminate the need for that bottom brace? mount the hinges the other way so the plywood covers those two edges on the back and bottom when close all you should see of the hinge is the barrel

Cody I have loved this series, and I can't thank you enough for wv r ything you do with this channel. Thank you and God bless!

4:30 sawblade might not be dull. Clean it with degreaser see how it cuts after that.

Nice craftsmanship, Sir!

"you are watching a man operating at the very limits of his abilities", isn't that the mantra of the ProHo? Taking on a project he might know very little about with courage and determination to get it done in spite of the setbacks. Strong work!

Use small chains to support the top and bottom covers when open.

We made one similar to that in Girl Scouts. Was very well used for panting trips. Loved it!

Nice job. I used horseshoes ( bent at the ends) for the side handles on something i did that was similar to this

I am a cook buy trade. I love this. I need to build a chuck wagon for the coming struggle. Thanks

This is what we had in Boy Scouts. Good times. We put 2x PVC pipes on each side oriented a 45°. We the put rods in the pipes as legs.

Your live streams are awesome! God bless

great friday night Thanks for the video!

thank you for what you do

Thanks! This is great!

Add carry handles on the sides. Bolted through as it will carry alot of weight. I would also add some thin chain to support the down folding lid. That way it can be work top. Maybe add a sheet of some easy wipe food grade plastic sheeting-big cutting board surface. Lastly put on medium Dollie wheels so you can if its a flat surface you can push it around if stored - dont have to carry it but just push it

I put removable legs that strap on the back couple of carriage bolts and butterfly nuts easy enough and it’s a little bit off the ground I sit on the top when closed I know you are keeping it strong so nice work keep up with your good content

Nice I've been wanting to build one of these so bad for the last year. I built your gas can Box and will do this one to. Thanks man

A self centering drill bit is the way to go with drilling hinges. just set it in the hole and it will naturally drill in the center of your hole. no more misaligned screws

Those Colman stoves can be modified to burn diesel and kerosene. The atomizer tube can be coiled with copper wire to hold more heat. Allowing the diesel or kerosene to vaporize and burn cleaner. Just wrap some copper wire directly over the burner. Something like 12 to 16 gauge solid core wire.tough to light when cold but may save a life. God bless and stay frosty.

Nice work

Yeah, I’m making my dad one for Christmas next year

We used to use these in boy scouts all the time. Ours had hooks so the legs could serve as carry handles

We had a camp kitchen made of aluminum that one of my father's friends built for white water rafting. We used that thing on hundreds of trips!

Great timing as I'm just starting a similar project.

I need to see the thing on the ground! I gotsta' know!!!!

I wish you covered the lid front edge with the upper front panel

A "spring hatch holder" would be my suggestion for the top drawer.

Only a youtuber could drill into his Snapon Box and giggle knowing failure on youtube=success. Love the vids Cody.

impressive

WOW. THAT IS AMAZING IT WENT TOGETHER SO FAST, so beautiful and smooth editing

Love it great idea. I’m definitely making one of those..

Brass corner protectors FTW

Who hasn't done the plunging, jigsawing, recutting to get it done? I wouldn't want to show all the unapproved methods I've used with my chop saw. Thanks for showing the process.

my cousins hubby is a milwaukee fanboy to the fullest. has has every single tool aside from their new lawnmower. and i mean every tool u can think of

Nice work! I shall make one for me and my boys!

Wranglpy chuckwagon dirt biking O ya, 500 can can. Yahoo!

Always have a blast watching you brother! To me this is one of the neatest projects you have built. I want your plans on this one. Thank you for who you are and what you do.

This is a flashback to scouts and carrying these dang boxes to the camp site as a 12yo...

Looks good

Recommend a piece of painters tape for marking depth on the bit.

You can't grow more fingers, so please use push sticks when using a table saw. Also since you decided to use pocket screws, instead of proper joinery, you should make sure to add corner braces to make the box stronger.

nice!

And “Ladies” !! We build things too 👍🏽

more of this really cool :)

Cowboy Kent Rollins would approve…well done!

Don't worry about the saber saw although it's been a while since i've seen one

You make me look good with the practical things I learn from you. I work in a city neighborhood hardware store and now I know Milwaukee goodies are better than others, and I know what a piano hinge is now. Yeayyyy😅 LOLLLLL "don't do this" "or this" smh you're funny. 😅

Nice I'll throw this on my pack mule on the opposite side from my yeti cooler

I like Milwaukee too. But if you are drilling or sawing overhead all day, you'll wish you had a lot lighter DeWalt tool.

Mr. W, when are we getting live streams again? Hurting for that proho gospel.

If you switch the bracket that opens the top to reveal the stove to the outside, then it would make it flush on the front.

REI and Filson both have plans for similar boxes on their websites. I tried to provide links but wasn't allowed... I bought all the materials to build one, but then started camping without one... now I have a better idea of the gear I want to include within the box... and will customize it for my equipment.

Back in the Boy Scouts we call that a “chuck box”.

Maybe make some leather straps for your hinge part on top to hold it open

I’m telling ya, 34 years of scouting experience here…. ADD A LEG SOLUTION. Small slots added to the side allow you to use 2x4s with 45cuts. That way you have the option if needed but can use a table of space isn’t limited… BUT table space is almost always limited!

my kind of carpentry, by the seat of your pants!😁

You should make a load of these and sell them.👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A good old Boy Scout patrol box.

Cook accordingly

Why didn't you make the top go to the sides and being held from under so you get more workspace

You're right about Milwaukee tools being the best. The newer Makita brushless drill design is awful, the runout tolerances are ridiculous and no matter what they do the chuck won't run true

Old wester looking wranglerstar logo would be sweet on the top or front

That's really cute for a west coast man. An east coast man's kitchen is a hunting knife and a fire rod.

I would have gone one step further and put piano hinge on that top front piece so when you lift the top a;; the way up that front cover piece hinges down against the lid.

Kent rollins has a whole wagon. Maybe keep the same idea and modify a truck or trailer just for this to fit...maybe.

Food trucks are the modern day chuck wagon.

Upcoming video, how the forest service restores a rusty table saw top.

This reminds me of that Rebecca Black music video, "Friday".

Funny I was going to suggest that colman stove green but never posted comment. perfect and clean color for camping,, BTW I have an awl or icepick I carry as a TOOL but for self defence and trust me they work quite well. But yes They come in handy as much as a knife for many things like you said and public doesnt have a karen when they see you with it... whats funny is when I open carry my hatchet I get less flak than a knive and sheeth?!?!?! public is ignorant

seen your videos for at home, but how does the USFS make camp coffee? same as home with just different hot water source?
