If you are into creating one from wood by hand, (read talented in wood working,) it would be a good project. Admittedly, I'm not personally that talented of a wood butcher, so I opted for a pre-made roto-molded junk carrier from the Stow-Away company. I'm sure your craftsman built box will be very unique and a work of art. That said, I do also like having the extra storage capability the box provides, which is especially handy due to the limited storage room in all these small
fiberglass trailers, and I wouldn't be without one anymore.
