Fishing Cabinet.

[BigBassin144]

I'vebeen asking my dad to build us something to hold our good rods since I got my first good rods two years ago. And nothing. Now since he's got a G-Loomis, he comes home one day to tell me he's building a fishing cabinet to put our rods in... (of course)

And I knew in the beginning, it wasn't going to be simple. And I was right! And my dad's been asking me to put some pictures of it up so you guys can see it. So here it is, it 6' wide by 8' tall. On half has shelves for tackle boxes and such and a drawer for papers, maps, etc. The other half is the rod locker part.



The shelf side. Still got some tools and clutter, this side's not done yet.



Here's the rod locker half. But instead of making it simple, with some indents on the bottom for rod butts, and something on the wall to hold the rod, he had to build this "cage" like thing, that he had to put on drawer sliders so the rods would be "easier to get to". (he just did it cause it looks cool.)


Here's it pulled out. (I have ot admit, it is pretty cool)

Anthony, you do know your dad can log on here and see what you wrote about him, right?...just wonderin'.

That is a very cool cabinet, though. And the sliding thing adds just the right touch of panache to the whole project. Very well done.

Oh, and as soon as I sell my truck, I'll send a check for a cabinet of my own.

MB, I already told him he over complicated it, and he agrees. But it is really cool. Can't wait to get the other half done and get the tackle boxes out the boat.

Zook, nope, no lessons. And if I Don't know if we've got enough room for all our stuff. The rod rack is 3/4 full, but if we get more good rods, we'll store the ones we don't use somewhere else. As for the shelves, we've got a lot of my grandpa's tackle that we inhereted, my dad's and mine to put in there. This doesn' include spools of line, bags of soft plastics, and our musky lures.

That's one problem with fishing for a lot of different species.

Nice job, much nicer (not to mention secure) storage than just a simple rod rack.

[bamabassman]

LOOKS FANTASTIC ANTHONY!!! yea, getting more stuff requires more storage,lol. so.....kingfish, ya gotta go ahead and start on another set,hahahaha. and then another, an another........


looks really good, i like the design alot.

[bcklash]

bb, that's nice -- very cool cabinet, I love it.

[Wishing2BFishing]

I love the sliding rod racks. They are cool.

[Bender]

That sliding part is really great! What did you use to clip all of the rods in place?

[islandbass]

That's cool. I would highly recommend making securing the closets with locks. You never know if a bunch of little kids at a family gathering will decide to play hide and seek in the closet housing the rods.

BB, your dad is quite the craftsman, from the pictures that you have posted on this site, from what I can tell, it seems to be some really good work. It looks like your dad must work with his hands alot.
