Those in that issue are big bins.  I’m looking for boxes like the display boxes in Eliot Coleman’s books.  I remember an article that had them sized to fit a certain number of pulp pints or quarts, and they had cleats on the bottom, maybe dowels cut lengthwise in half, that fit down in the  one underneath when stacked.  Thank you for looking though.

Check the Feb 2009 issue Beth.  I didn't remember this article but have been trying various other ideas.  I just wish it have a finished picture, or maybe it does on hard copy.

My son has been building some that use 1xwhatever on ends and ripped 1x2 on sides and bottom, stapled together, but they're not secure  when stacked for transport.  I can pics if you want.

Thanks!

 I remember an plans for building wooden display boxes in Growing for Market.  They were designed to securely stack on top of each other, etc.  I have GFM back to 2000 and compilations back to 1996, but thumbing through checking the tables of contents and yearly indexes I can’t find it.

 

  1. If any of you have access to the online version and can find the issue for me, I’d really appreciate it.
  2. If others have built display boxes and can give me suggestions, I’d also appreciate it.

 

Thanks folks.  You’re great.
