Bike Cargo Box

A much older project, using the Incra Dovetail patterns

________________

This is a real mish-mash. I needed a little cargo box on my beach cruiser for beer and stuff…or food, whatever. Lots of scraps here…cherry sides, walnut fronts and maple highlights. I used my Incra jig for the double-through dovetails. They're certainly not perfect, but I like the way they came out! I recessed the bottom into the sides with a rabbet, but on retrospect I would prefer to hide the bottom edge entirely. It takes away from the dovetails.

I powder coated some small hooks in a bronze color to blend them away a little, and finished the whole thing in lacquer and paste wax.

Secured it to the bike with some custom ground mental mounts, which I also powder coated because my ADHD wouldn't let me leave them alone.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Thanks Pottz. Those were from the Incra patterns for their router/dovetail attachment.
