Tack Box Completed

[Guy Germaine]

I'm not too sure it's big enough for horse tack. It's 30"W X 18"H X 12" deep. I was just asked to make another one for a lady in Kentucky. I told her the price for one like this would be $400.

$400.00. Wow! I hope she said yes. That's a steal for the quality level you put into it.

It could be a little small for a horse tack trunk, depending on how much stuff is kept in one. The two that I have made were 29"x29"x55" and 27"x28"x36"ish.

With a horse tack trunk, part of the design has to account for someone sitting on it. Everyone sits on them. They can take a heckuva beating too.

That's still a fine chest you've made. I find myself coming back and looking at the overall design to be utilized as a portable handtool chest. You never know, you might see a copy soon.,

Thanks Mike. I appreciate the comments. You know, they say that imitation is the sincerest from of flattery. I look foward to seeing your version of it.

I know that "real" tack trunks are a lot more heavy-duty then this one is. I't made for dog grooming stuff, and they normally sit them on top of the dog crates, so the stuff is right at hand. I've seen some of the women at these dog shows, and they better not sit on this. It'll never handle it!

Wow! That has to be the best looking tack box I have ever seen. Beautiful details. Thanks for sharing.
