With a lot of thanks to Rod True, it is finished. I had intended to paint the sides, but its too cold in the garage now and I won't paint in the house. So... it'll have to wait until next Spring.

Sorry about the picture. The camera was dropped and it just hasn't been the same.

If you are contemplating making one of these, all I can say is, do it. It'll be well worth your time and effort.

Mike, Rod True wrote up some really great instructions. The original thread is here.

It is so easy to build following Rod's plans. You'll be so happy with it when you are done. The only thing I did different from Rod is to put textured paint on the base and three hinges on the bottom because I couldn't find any really strong ones.
