Memory Lane, 20th August 2022: A beekeeping toolbox

Some people apparently use shopping bags, but I prefer things to be a little more ordered and hunted around the interwebs for a suitable design. Eventually I came up with something that I thought would do the job, but I was a bit short of suitable wood. I did have some scrap cedar from a hive box that was well beyond repair, so I cut it into strips and glued them together to make a board that was big enough to cut the sides from. The ends are from a single piece of timber whilst the handle is a scrap broom handle or curtain rail or something like that. Probably more likely a curtain rail. I drilled some blind sockets (of course, what else would they be for a curtain rail?) to take the ends of the rail so the handle could be glued in and would support the ends of the box rather than needing to put a screw through from the outside.
