Carrying Crates
This carrying crate is extremely light. It's made out of 1/8" veneer or what is also called "Door Skins". The frame work is 3/4" pine. I get 1X2s which are 1 1/2 by 3/4 inches and rip them in half. I assemble the crates using "Gorilla Glue" and staples. I have found the Gorilla Glue to be the best. My crates are 18" by 36" by 10" high. But they can be any size you want. Here's a hint. If you take a 4X8 foot sheet and make 3 rips at 10 inches for the sides and ends you have 18 inches left for the bottoms. One 4X8 foot sheet cut like this will make 2 crates. I use 1/4" doweling for the top on 2" centers. There is a lid that opens on top for basketing birds and the whole front pulls up for releasing them.
