looks pretty cool. have you thought about a/some drain holes? If water gets in, how does it get out?

I did think about it, but every hole in the base is a potential hole for toys to fall out! If it gets water in it, it’ll just run out the sides or ends. It’s not going to be sealed up.
I got a couple more hours on it today. Cut some handles at the centre of balance for
decorationeasy lifting. Bench seat is cut and fitted. Again, all on T-slot nuts so it can adjust and it’s locked in place with a bolt at the top.Weight at this point is 15kg on the scales. I’ll take the front and rear crossmembers out when I dismantle it for varnishing.
There’s easily enough space for 3 kids in there and it struck me I can easily fit a second rear-facing seat in the front as it’s already tilted at the right angle.

Box progress. It’s slow progress but it’s still progress!
Panels drilled for fixings and mounted up. Stainless button heads on the sides and countersunk underneath. Did a test fit on the bike and cut the slot in the back panel to clear the random fixing on the steerer tube. All looks good so far.
I’m going to cut some handles into the side panels, mounting holes in the base, then a few coats of yacht varnish and it’ll be ready to use. I don’t think it needs the upper crossmembers so I think I’ll take them out and see how it fares.
