Great video though. You made me re-think my crate. I'm now sold on this design. I hadn't thought about the top part being used like that. I'm also thinking about some sort of lid for the top, for when you need to get into the bottom. Hmmm...

Wonder who originally came up with the idea.

You rock Fuzzy!
I made a setup for my sit in sea kayak using old pipe, vitamin bottle and some scrap wood. https://youtu.be/RZHPpw4YtAE
I have seen other videos on this same subject but your approach is practical and has a smaller footprint when put together. I bet you could probably figure out how to put some kind of lid on the hinged top crate that, in my opinion, would complete this build. As soon as you figure this one out, I will be at the hardware store the day after you release the video. LOL.
I just subscribed to your channel. Good job!

Mad a similar box before I saw your video. i do ALOT of salt water // baitfishing along with sweetwater bass/pickerel/panfishing. One thing did to my homemade crate was completely line the top with stained/urethaned strips of 1/2 inch wood... makes a nice work surface or bait board or fsh cleaning board. Great Video!

THIS is definitely going to be a good budget add-on...but I'm going to see about molding one of them small personal sized ice chests as well, for when we go on float trips down the Current River.

2. With the rod holders facing the back, wouldn't it be harder to reach the "rod leash" when returning the rod to the holder? It just se m that they would hang down from the back of the crate making it a bit more difficult to reach. I did my crate similar to yours but put my rod holders on the sides of the crate, and the zip tie hinges in the rear. But nevertheless it's still an awesome set set up with that green crate.
great comment and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the reply mate

Of a way for me to get it on top of the lid part of the cut crate
Tight Lines
All that being said the cheap carabiners i have on there for the rods do work well and are easy to put on and take off.
Any ideas as to an alternate I could use I'm always down to learn something???
