Building A Pirate Treasure Chest For My Son

I had the idea to build a treasure chest for Emmet months ago before the shed was even built. Leading up to the Christmas break, I thought I had plenty of time to get it done but then the renovation project came up, where Jade had decided to take a week off work so we could make a start on it. I managed to get the treasure chest done though, getting the final coat of oil on it the day before we were due to leave to spend Christmas with my family.

I’m quite proud of this one, and I hope when he’s older, Emmet will be proud of me too. I put a lot of work into designing and building the chest and I hope it comes across that way when you watch the video.

If you think I did alright and would like to make a treasure chest for yourself of a loved one, I’ve made the fabrication drawings available on our online store for a couple of bucks. Check out the link below if you’re interested in grabbing a copy! We really appreciate your support!
