As those of you who let me clutter your Facebook "Wall" already know, I recently completed a tack trunk for a friend at work. A tack trunk is a horsey box used to carry horsey thingies - boots, brushes, wraps, quilts - but not the saddle (at least not for Alexis who commissioned this piece. After seeing several expensive tack trunks fall apart at the seems (or the hinge, or the plys) she asked me to build her one that would hold up to the abuse common to life in a barn and the back of a pickup trunk. We picked up some plans from Elite Tack Design for the basic dimensions - but that's as far as I followed the plans.

Shopsmith says there are 3 things that cause a humming motor, all factory repair jobs. They forgot the fourth - pull the motor, take it apart, clean the contacts, blow the dust out, get back to building cabinets!
