Edward O'Keeffe Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Here are the first pics of the game chest I have been working on. It came out larger than anticipated, but it should have enough room for all of Lily's games with room for growth (and then some). Or it could double as a impromptu dinner table. It is made of 1/2" poplar with pine trim. The top was done with milk paint. It will be finish coated with shellac. Now it just needs the lid cut, hinges installed, and internal storage boxes assembled. Edited April 3, 2009 by Edward O'Keeffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well then hurry up and get back to work! very nice... I see ye have mounted the Goose as well... snigger.

Lily Alexander Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) We're having a little debate and we would like some opinions. Instead of having the lid hinge, perhaps we could use the other side of the lid for a backgammon board? Yeah or nay. I will make no comment on mounting geese.

Dutchman Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) eh.. oh yeah put another game on the back side- might dress it up a bit. Edited April 3, 2009 by bbcddutchman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I think the backgammon board would be a nice inclusion ...small hasps mounted to the pass bar of the backgammon board that could be made to come out the sides of the lid to keep the lid on when traveling if you plan to have it mobile.... just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Or it could double as a impromptu dinner table. I have heard tis huge... seats 12 and my sea bed fits inside...

Lily Alexander Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 In case anyone is wondering, it's 26 X 26 X 19 deep. It is huge. I think Mr Merriweather would fit quite comfortably.
