I built this today.

Post by hightime »

A few years ago I built an oak range box for my BP cartridge shooting. I built it with 1/2 oak and box joints. It's been bugging me having a plasic ammo containers. So with 1/4'' oak and 1/4'' box joints, I made this box.

That looks perfect!

Do you use a router for the box-joint cutting? If so, what kind of jig/guide do you use...?

I tried to make a jig and it didn't work. I fixed it with a jig saw. The joint turned out bad, but after glue and sanding it shaped up. I have a dovetail jig for 1/2'' and then I use a router, just not this time. For sure I'll get some kind'a jig for the next one. Now I've got to find 1/4 sawn for future projects. That's what the old boxes were made from.

Good Job, the joints look nice and tight. Did You just use Glue or brads also ?

When I glued the box the box joints I drilled a small hole in from the top though several joints, then slipped a twisted small wire into the hole. It works like a screw but when it bottoms out it swells and locks in place. The bottom was glued and eight small brads into drilled holes.

This might sound dumb, but drilling holes in wood that close together is tough. I don't have a drill press. That would help. I have to get me one. After a couple attempts, I used a sheet of aluminum. There is also a thin wood block on the bottom with holes.
It's 3 3/4'' high for 45-110 ammo.
