plywood firewood box

Anforte, I like your design on your fire wood box. Dovetailing the sides and back was a nice touch (both for strength and looks) Very well done.

Huff,

Thanks for your kind comments.
It was a change from restoring chairs, furniture and the like.

Wife thought I was too fussy for a common place box.

But these are the joys of doing things!

Very interesting idea. I never thought of something like that. We just moved to a place that has a fire place and it is new to us.

I like the idea of the grid. I might steal that part

Wood is our only source of heat so, the design of the wood box is important!
I'd like some place for kindling and paper too!

Kerux,

The idea came from a website that featured an all metal box.
It didn't clearly show the grid arrangement so I improvised the wooden grid.

My son balked at the metal box price - over $100 so I used some scrap 3/4 plywood.
I think that'll do the trick.

Thanks for your comment

Daltxguy,

The world is full of good ideas.
So I just incorporated them.
May your project be all that you desire.

I need a compact box for my house also. I really like this one. Gonna try it I think.

RexMcKinnon,

My son is enjoying the box I made.
It holds much more than the canvass holder he had.

All success as you work on yours.
