Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Will you give us one more hint ?

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

MJ you are a sad, strange, little man ::)

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

It's a clone of CB cleverly constructed out of 11 pieces of starboard and one sheet of plexiglass that does MJ's bidding ;)! MJ you are truly a starboard artist.

Or it is either an electronics box or a baitwell with a clear top.

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Its a cabinet of storage drawers? The strips that CB is holding are drawer slides or stops? I dont know what to think of the plexiglass unless you are gonna make a clear door for it.

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Next hint!! ;D

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Where ya gonna mount it MJ ?? It looks great. Your gonna win the prize for " Most Creative " at the V20 Christmas Party!!!!

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Its going to be installed into the left front bulkhead, and then framed with doors.

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

That'll be cool, I know you send pics

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Wow..talk about your built-in tackle locker....NICE...did you put in drawer stops?... ;)...

Great job guys...I'm buyin' stock in Starboard... ;D...

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

The two draws have stops so they won't drop out on you foot!!

The bottom draw is 14 X 9 x 4 holds a ton of sinkers!! a slot for 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3oz

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

the two top plano boxes are #3700 14 X 9 X 1 1/2 The 3rd Plano is # 3730 and is the same size but like 2 1/2 high.

The middle draw is 3 X 14 X 9, Has plex glass on one side that has 15 holes drilled to hold my 35 mm film bottles with all different hooks, swivels ect.

Pleanty of room also in that draw for all my leader material.

The bottom draw 14 X 9 X 4 with pleanty of room for sinkers.

Over all it is 16 1/4 High 15 wide and 9 1/2 deep

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Nice work. So it will sit on the vberth and be flush with port bulkhead?

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Yep you got it!

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

AWESOME!!!! I was thinkin about that some time back. Building one is definitely better IMO cause you can size it up and make it just how YOU like it. ;D

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Yes!! I was able to make the sinker box just the way I wanted it!! And then nin the 2nd draw I was also able to make the storage for the film cases.
I even changed the plan when I got to the store to by the plano boxes, They were all going to be #3700 but when I got there and saw the #3730 and how deep it was I thought it would be great for the jigs, and I was right.

You don't get that when you by pre-made!! I am very happy the way this worked out!! And now we no what mistakes we made so when we make CB we won't make them again!

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Mistakes?...I don't see no mistakes!...all I see is a cool as all giddy-up piece of work... ;)...

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Thanks!! But there are a few things that if doing again we would change.

But it is great just the way it is and I love it!!!!!

But we got it down now!! We will do better with CB's when we make it!!

A guy on another site has offered me $40 to $50 per hour to do Starboard work on some 40 boats he takes care of. Door's, rod holders, ect.....

I have declined! I need to fish, no more playing!!

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

NO WAX !!!!!!!!! >:(

Box is now installed and stocked!! But we have to do the doors yet.
But CB has the router table, so I have to wait till he gets a chance to get here one more time.

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Looks good MJ, your saving yourself a ton of money making that stuf yourself. I was thinking about trying to make a pair of "gun rack" style rod holders for the gunwhales after the overhaul. Those crusty old wooden ones aint hitti'n on much.

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Ya'll are doin a fine job on that little project MJ. We're all droolin at your pics. Keep us updated on the final outcome.

Re: MJ, CB, Project, What is it?
 

Thats a easy project!! All you need is the Starboard! Just like I did, take the old off traxce it and cut it there you go!!

Lets not leave out my trusty helper, CB!! I could not have done it all with out his help!!

Thats why its not finished, he has the Router Table and was coming up Thursday, but he had something come up, and cancled :'(

But I am sure we will get it this week!!

I will let you see as soon as it is done!!
I went to see how much a 20 X 20 piece of Starboard was, the want $60 :o

You see I have pleanty here but it is what they call Seafoam (off white) and the walls are what they call White White.
I wanted the thing to match when done, with the front bulkhead. But for $60 its going to be off white, Good anough for me!!
