This is my version of a chuck box used for cooking when camping. I took several ideas from other people I have seen make them and combined them into something that would work for me! Hope you Enjoy!!

1971 we had a VW bus. I built a camp cook box that was almost as wide & tall as the rear opening. We used it for many years & donated it to our friends when we moved. They continued to use it for decades. It was super to tent camp & have a kitchen wherever we went. We now have used a class A motorhome for the past decade or so, but hard to beat the setup we had then.
I really like your setup! Thanks so much for sharing your build! I'm preparing to build my first box. Would you be willing to share your plans? And I'd like to see how you mounted the pvc shelf to the box.
When I was a teenager 40 something years ago, my dad made a box similar to yours and called it a "grub box." I did a search for that term because I want to build one and your video came up. I guess "chuck box" is the modern term now and I'm glad I got your site. That is a beautiful build and I hope to make one soon. Thanks for the thorough video.
You should build a backpacking version. Ive allways wanted a backpacking chuck box
I like the 'dado' cuts on the side walls for shelves. Smart way to do it without screws all over the place. Your visuals and audio is very clear, makes a difference. It was very instructive to see how you did the joinery. Much appreciated! Please consider no music at all. There is a Zen to silence and natural sounds which are soothing. and relaxing. Music, even low background music, is a buzzing continuous sound that interferes with hearing your voice and irritates like sandpaper on the ear drums. Music is not for DIY, demos, tours, and wildlife videos. 1:30 - I would have sanded off the glossy finish on edges of the bottom board. The wood glue won't stick well to that finished board. Love the lantern stand and towel rack, genius! The finished box looks so functional and roomy, really well done, Justin. Bravo! The matching table stand is a work of art too. Beautiful CNC work on front too. What an artist you are! My sealer of choice is Varathane Oil-based Clear Interior Satin Polyurethane. I usually either stain, or use Boiled Linseed Oil on bare wood, let dry for 1-2 days. I dilute Poly 40:60 with Mineral Spirits or even 50:50. Then I do one coat, applying Poly liberally, wait for 10-15 mins, then wipe off excess, smearing it evenly but thinly all over. No drips, no gobs, no heavy coating. Let dry to touch about 2-3 hours. Repeat twice. The diluted poly soaks into wood well and hardens wood further. Wiping it off or smearing with paper towels, allows finish to look natural like a hand rubbed piece, where the wood shows through and not artificial. You will need 3 coats ideally if Poly is thinned out. You can sand lightly if dust sticks to finished coat. Not necessary to sand if you use Satin not Glossy. End result is a hand rubbed look with the durability of Polyurethane which is a robust coating. I am not fond of water based Poly as this never dries as hard and is more prone to dents and scratches.
Really creative and skilled.
That’s nicer than something you’d find in a store
Bill Dixon from Pungo Prarie has a really nice setup as well.
Nice job, this looks amazing!
What a great idea!
Would love to find one of these to buy. I'm currently using a Stanley expanding and rolling toolbox

Maybe the PVC idea is something I can adapt. I do miss having light hanging. I might manage to build a folding top to put on my toolbox upper level with cut out to still reach in top tier...
Awesome work!
Nice quality build…you are a craftsman!
Looks great.
Great build!
Nice craftsmanship!
Real nice Justin.👍🏼☮️
Well done, Sir! Try putting a Weber gasgrill Q1000 on the camp kitchen. That Chuck box of Your would make it look VERY expensive 🙂
Nice build! I took a different approach with my chuck box, but what matters is we’re camping and cooking delicious food in the outdoors. Can’t wait to see the “tour” video to see what got yours up to 100 lbs.
Top Vid Mate. Great design.
I love this! Any chance you’ll have plans available?

Yes plans would be good
Did a very similar build. Only thing I’d suggest is throwing some thin stainless down on top of your work surface. Really helps with clean up and you can actually cut on it in a pinch. Great job!

What gauge of stainless did you use? For the edges, did you use a trim piece or a brake and bend the edges down.

It’s the thinnest I could get. I got the metal shop to cut it the top dimension and used flush mount screws. Nothing fancy.
you never did an update on this! Would love to see what you put in it and how it works.
Nice!!
Very nice
i love it
very nice we all beg for plans 😁😁
Just found this video. Excellent!! Any plans for this? Cut list?
Looking good! Any chance we can get the plans?
very nice build! do u have plans for it?
Do you happen to have a cut list for this chick box? It’s absolutely perfect.
Very nice I like it a lot, however I would have put the draws on the bottom for better access and the stove up the top because you will less likely to be putting the stove in and out all the time.
Thank you
Great video. Draw up some plans and sell them! I would pay some money for that.
I like it. Including contents, how heavy is it? To make it lighter, what would you sacrifice? In other words, would has the least weight to usefulness ratio?

Huh?
How did the piano hinges work out for the doors? Were there any issues with the screws going into the edge of the plywood on the box? That came out great!
How is the pvc pipe attached to the cabinet at the bottom? Pressure fitted?
Do you have written plans for purchase?
Do you have plans for this build? I’d love to use with my Boy Scout troop if you’re willing to share!
I love your build compared to the some of the other chuck boxes. How did you mount the pvc pipe in the back? Drilled holes or mounted a bracket? Wheels do seem like a good idea. I’ve watched hundreds of these videos and probably watch yours about 30 times. I’m looking forward to your review of your box (part 2) Thank you for using inches and feet.
Very complete and well done but how much does it weigh?

It is pretty heavy fully loaded. I will have to trow it on the scale and see what it weighs!

I finally weighed the box, dry weight with just the box is 50lbs. Fully loaded with all of my gear is around 100lbs.

@@JustinStanley Yikes! I think you need wheels on them now.
Do you have plans for this
Are there plans for this anywhere?
Could you provide the project drawing
How tall should desk legs be?
Do you have plans?
I love your videos! How come you don’t put out very many anymore? It seems like when you first went on KZread you put them out quite regularly. But now it may be 2,3,4,5 months between videos. Why??
What are hidden doors called?

The pocket screws should be on the outside not the inside. Otherwise looks good.
How much will you charge to make me a Chuck box?
Gee just need 4000 dollars in shop tools then I too can build a chuck box!
like that, but please go to the metric system, it is annoying for the rest of the world
