First wooden ammo box

[asmurff]

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.

It is a Rockler jig for the router table http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21338&filter=router%20jig

That padlock is cool.

It looks good and it looks sturdy.  :thumb:

It is sturdy I picked it up with 1100 rounds of .45acp earlier and nothing groaned lol  :grin: I'm sure I over built I always do.

That looks great!  Are you going to stain it, paint it, ?

You should make a Tactical22.net version.    ;D

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.

I did some searching today and found a a picture of an ammo box I'd like to try and make mine look like.

Smurff have you got access to a stencil machine? :beer:

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.

Excellent work.

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.
