The intended use was to pack books for a journey by carriage; but I think it could be used to safely hold almost anything that would fit within it. Hinges would make it into a decent toolbox. I wlll probably make a smaller one with the scraps, add some dividers, and keep shop odds-and-ends like extra bench plane irons, routing plane irons, etc in it.upriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831787533348044017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743847827965835115.post-65857542569323227072011-09-28T18:30:11.883-07:002011-09-28T18:30:11.883-07:00What's the thickness of the boards, 1/2"?...What's the thickness of the boards, 1/2"?

It would make a great addition to the Jeep to keep odds and ends from rattling around.
