  Having been give some felled, actually ripped out with a digger, trees, that are in a field close by. To make life a little bit easier, I decided to make a box for chainsaw etc, rather than have carry them in the trailer, then on top of a load of wood.

  I'll be using my Sears GT16 for trailer duty as usual, so I made this out of scrap wood.

That fits on the front of the Sears. The hitch pit has to be removed to fit it and stops it from sliding out.

Next was a box. Again made from scrap wood salvaged when I dismantled the dog kennel.  9" deep x 19" x 36".

 The box has yet to be finished, but it has been tested for strength. It takes my weight, all 12-1/2 stone so should be fine for the chainsaw etc.

12 1/2 stone    :confusion-confused:    175 pounds?          That should carry a chain saw +.

 Trial fit. Chainsaw, fuel, small bottle of chain oil, toolbox and hard hat.

And finished.

I have added a strip of foam rubber along the back top edge, to prevent damage to the paint should it bounce up.
