Hillbilly voodoo Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have made a few but don’t have them anymore. They were not fancy just a box that was divided to hold big trolling lures. They were heavy so if I build another big boat box I would be looking to cut weight Friends and family coned me out of the few I made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Just something I have been wanting to do 1/8" plywood and Cedar. Can't find any cedar plywood 1/8" or 3/16" so I can get a 4 X 8' maple for 32.00 well I'll see Im not going anywhere. Thanks Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Would be a neat project. Are you set up to resaw? Could make you own ply since wouldn't need a lot of ply. If frame and panel may be able to just use solid wood cut to your desired thickness. I couldn't see using it outside of storing lures at home to help organize stuff or holding a collection. With that solid wood isn't a big issue. Edited February 5, 2020 by Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I can't re-saw but I know of a person that could but I would worry about warping. He is a cabinet maker. Making my own plywood I think I will stay away from that I think it will just stay inside. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were bulky but they basically lived in my boat tucked under the bow. Like I said nothing fancy 3/4 inch ply outside, 1/4 inch ply grid, and a 3/4 solid top with hinges. I used cedar because it’s easy to come by in the North west and a fiber glass resin coat to help protect it. Each compartment had a saw cut to hang the lure hook on I nice wood one would be good for the house but I think I will go plastic for my next boat box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I think I will do this project and hope it comes out ok about 18" long X 10 to 12 wide and 12 deep 1 tray 2 drawers and place for spinners in the top of box when you open it, compartments for maps and papers on sides. Its in my head which I better draw it up because its going fast. I can seal it with KBS. Just brush it on costly but what the hell. Have to wait for warmer weather.

KennyP Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have put some thought into one as a project I could build with my grandson. I would definitely be interested to see what you come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
