I'm changing my cargo bike boxes.

In the past I commissioned a local woodworker to build them for me, using a wood called MDO (medium density overlay).  Not anymore.

New boxes will be built in-house by me, using marine plywood.  I've got a nail gun, compressor, biscuit joiner, and a lot of clamps to do it.

This makes me very happy.  Having another aspect of production under my roof means greater flexibility, control, and pride.  Soon I'll be smelting my own iron and powder-coating my own bikes (not likely).
