Now that is my idea of a nice homemade ice fishing box! What's the inside look like? I think you nailed it for the perfect size!

I alternate from a bucket to a tri-pod folding chair that came with my HT Shelter. I still bring the bucket either way to put all the fish I catch in. I thought about cutting a hole in the side to toss my fish through, but don't want to weaken the bucket to where I can't sit on it. The lid is too hard to keep taking off and on to throw the fish inside.

I've noticed that about the 5 gallon buckets, too.  I thought about cutting off some of the 'fingers' that you have to pry out to open them, but then I found saw the lids on driveway-salt buckets.  They only have four of the fingers, and they only cover about of quarter of the edges altogether.  They're much easier to open, and I'd bet your driveway or walkway has been icy at one point in time, so you might as well buy the bucket of salt anyway.  Put the other lid on the salt so it seals better though...  hehehe

If its warm enough out that I dont have to sit in the shack I use folding lawn chairs, but if its inside the shack I just use milk crates or 5 gallon pails.

I found four folding chairs at a garage sale ....25 cents each
found canvas at another sale 1.00 dollar
i sewed canvas double with left over stuffing from garage sale pillows 2 @ 25 CENTS
I used a staple gun to secure canvas to the wooden folding chairs
the boys and i have been using them for fishing for 7 years now.
total cost=2.50
