Very nice!

Do the wheels always stay on or do they come off?

dayum

Awsome

Larmer: the wheels do come off.

I feel like a slacker now.....

Nice work!

What's QPT?

-Derian.

Thanks. Qpt is the Queens Prize Tournament. Its simalir to an A&S compititon.

Did you win?
-Cian

No. I didnt win. A hand sewn tent and And a menu about the four humors and ease of digestion , or something like that won.

That's beautiful!

Looks like it could function as bench - is that right?

Cheers,
Steven

Well, to be fair, everybody "wins" at QPT. There are just 2 "best of show" prizes awarded as well.

Your chest was awesome, you should be very proud.

That's the new hottness. I love it, great work.

That's very spiffy.

Here's a chest I've been thinking about a lot lately.

Lol concurred...that IS the new hottness. No more old and busted here.

Steven H: i wouldnt be afraid to use it as a bench just not on a hill...no breaks

InsaneIrish: Everyone there does win. I think it was a little advanced for the event and i made sure the judges knew i wasnt there to win anything and was mainly there to try and help promote metalworking. Now come tri-levels thats different. lol

Effingham: I think id have more fun with that chest than mine lol

Im not impressed easily and I thought it was awesome
I will get back to you about that internal locked we talked about

Damn you Effingham. Good thing my boss wasn't behind me. I can justify pictures of furniture at work but not that!

Sean

P.S. Damn nice chest but I'm curious what it looks like without the wheels. And do you have a picture of the extant piece?

Sean heres a pic of the original. I'll get you a picture of it without the wheels when i get some of the chaseing.

OH most certainly. Your entry would easily be better suited for Kingdoms A&S and possibly Try-Level competition.

QPT is more geared toward the beginner as an 'Ata Boy!' style event. Allows newer A&S people to showcase their skill and get helpful pointers without the added stress of a "real" competition.

I certainly hope you enter into Kingdom A&S.

I'm definatly entering kingdom A&S. Im haveing problems finding info on what im really wanting to make tho.

finaly got a chance to get more pictures taken.

If its on blocks with the wheels off does that make it medieval hillbilly?

I've never seen anything like that.

You should see it live. ABSOLUTELY mind-blowing.

Yeah the double latch locking mechanism is WAY cool. I was playing with it, it works super well. I was MUCHLY impressed.

*whimper*

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

I didnt think heres the lock and key also

That is just phenomenally cool.

Nice work, too. Damn.

In awe and feeling terrible envy. Give me it! *sends Svengali mind waves*

This is coming along quite well.

I thought i had a brain freez but maby it was Tasha

Crap. Looking at this thread has got me thinking, I need more boxes.
Way to go Fungi. Way to start a new obsession. As if we didn't have to contend enough with "armor porn" and "weapon envy".
