It stands!

Patrol box is coming along, it now stands! Just have to get some Formica on the surfaces, and finish the outside. Be done with this ticket soon!

I have Started the Scout guide, and have jotted a few items down ( 2 pages or so) in a Word document.  We have an open house for the Troop for incoming Webelos on March 25th and I hope to have it completed by that point.

There has been some cutting errors but we're in process,  however the three of  us are doing the boxes  independently.  We can't find time to get together to do it, so we'll do it with the same set of plans. It will be interesting to see how it different the 3 boxes turn out.

Designs of Patrol boxes

Designing patrol boxes has been interesting work.
E.B. and I have been going back and forth looking at designs.

We come up with a design and then take a look at how much it weighs and figure out about changing it again.  We finally decided to go with an existing design, as it fits all of our items that we want it to go into it.   We;re going to do a hybrid of these 2 designs.  This Carcass for the box.

We're going to size how much materials we need for the boxes and get to Hardware stores to ask for donations.  Were looking right now to build all 3 of the wood badge ticket patrol boxes together.  We'll see how it goes.

We'll compile a set of drawings to archive in case more are needed int he future.
