The New Twig Box

The Fuzz has not been very good at keeping up with things here in cyberspace.
Oh well.

One of the projects he has been up to has been a new "Twig Box".
Out here in the woods, the trailer is heated with a Wood Stove, as many followers of Kinda Fuzzy no doubt realize.

Well, when The Fuzz and His Sweetie are off on one of their frequent forays out into the wide world, the fire may burn out.
So it is necessary to keep a supply of kindling handy- and out of the weather!
Trying to start a fire with soggy twigs is a pain.
(you know where!)

They were keeping an old bucket of twigs in there near the heater.  But it didn't really hold much, and tended to be very messy.
The Fuzz's Sweetie wanted to start keeping the stuff out on the porch, which would be handy enough,
But-
also exposed to the weather.

So they came up with the idea of this
Twig Box!


There was an old chest of drawers that had been retired from bedroom duty.
So The Resourceful Fuzz disassembled the thing.
He then used the sides and drawer fronts to put this thing together.
The bottom is a piece of old fence wire, so any tiny bits and dirt can fall through.
An old piece of tin made a reasonably weathertight lid.
The interior was divided into 2 sections.  One for "small stuff" and the other for "Twigs".
