A very good buddy of mine asked me to build his wife a tack box. For those that don't know what a tack box is, (as I didn't) it's a box to hold all the gear, brushes, bridals, ankle wraps and stuff like that. I looked on line and got a few ideas, and a couple from Vince, and got to building. It's nothing special, but kinda fun.

Frontal Shot (God I love a good frontal shot)


The metal on the edges is aluminum angle which I textured with 80 grit sandpaper and a random orbit sander. I've always wanted to do this, but never had a reason for it.


The inside of the lid has a cork board to keep notes and a slotted area
to hold these things that wrap around the horses ankles, not sure what they're called.


Of course it has a carrying tote for brushes and such.


The handles are made from leather straps that go under the horses mouth and hold the bridal, not sure what they're called, but I thought they looked cool and tied in more of the horse theme.

Nice work Wade.

On a sad note, several horses got loose on a busy freeway here this morning and were run down. A major freeway is a parking lot right now. Pray for all those involved.
