asmurff Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I finished my first wooden ammo box. While not prefect I was pleased with the way the finger joint jig worked, and I learned enough from my mistakes to do better next time. Plus I've got to come up with some ideas for decorating them my first one didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 That looks great! Are you going to stain it, paint it, ?You should make a Tactical22.net version. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 So far I only put clear laquer on it, by may yet paint it. I originally had a decal I wanted on it but I couldn't get it to stay stuck. I also thought about using my sign maker jig and routing something into it but I still suck at using it so I keep practicing on scrap wood for now.

rodent.22 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Smurff have you got access to a stencil machine? :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Naw I was thinking the same thing earlier. After all those years of having one, never thought I'd want one after I retired lol. I think just the OD paint distressed will look pretty good, I'll figure out something for the lettering.

asmurff Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think I'm done for now, I'll let it get distress from everyday usage for a while then put coat of clear matte laquer over it, odd sock was the name my wife and I named an enterprise we start a couple of years ago.
