In Response To: Other: 'Glove box' ideas, please! (John Abercrombie)

John, I haven't got any online pics but I used scrap plywood to design a camera box which I epoxied to the underside of the deck in the cockpit...it is pentagonal in shape and long enough to hold my Cannon with 70-300mm lens attached. I installed it close to the riser but would have liked to have set it about 6 inches further into the cockpit. It works well for cameras, food and anything else that you might wanna keep handy. I also set it up to take a water-tight lid which attaches using wing nuts for those times when I know I can't use the camera and want to protect it from possible immersion. It was attached by flipping the kayak over and using thickened epoxy and tapes.
