Grooming Tote Design for the Tack Trunk Project

By |March 19th, 2009

I'm including a grooming tote as part of the tack trunk project that I'm currently working on. This is a key piece of equipment at any stable and is a perfect accessory to include with the tack trunk.

Removable Wrap Holder for the Tack Trunk

By |March 16th, 2009

I'm creating a removable wrap and bandage holder for the tack trunk that I am designing for my daughter. This is a view of the SketchUp design. The wrap holder has two compartments. The smaller one is 6 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The larger compartment will be 12 inches long and 3 inches deep. Both compartments will be approximately 12 inches high. Do these dimensions seem reasonable for bandage, standing wrap and polo wrap storage ?

New Website Design

Once again I’ve changed the website design, but I think you will enjoy the new site.

One of the main reasons that I did the site makeover was that with the old design it was just too cumbersome to add new posts and maintain the site.

The new website allows you to add comments to any of my posts. Please feel free to add your comments. I enjoy hearing from you!

Tack Trunk Requirements – New Project

By |March 10th, 2009

The next major project for the Kyserike Kraftsman is to build a tack trunk for my daughter. I've tried searching online, but there aren't many woodworking plans available for a tack trunk that I like so I'm planning on creating my own. I've been thinking about how to build this tack trunk for a while but now I think it's time to start to get serious and begin documenting the design. I'll start by making a list of the tack trunk requirements.
