Well, I wanted to get a box to meet the storage regs for Powder and Primers. I had seen a box on a website that closely matched what I was looking for;

Now, I can do rough carpentry work, but lack the tools/skills to do this right. I had noticed that a member here (Wrong Way) did woodwork for other members, so asked him if he would mind building something along this line. I asked him to keep it simple, as it is simply residing in the basement by my reloading bench. I have seen some of the stuff he had done, and knew this was a simple project compared to some of the stuff he is capable of doing. Luckily, he was willing to help out. After some discussion, these is the specs we decided upon;
3/4" MDF box (unfinished), 17 1/2" X 17 1/2" X 14" (outside) dimensions.
Two 1/4" removable internal dividers to make 4 compartments
Interlocked 3/4" top and bottom panels
Solid brass hinges/hasp
A neoprene gasket seal between the body and lid to ensure air-tightness
And the final product;
And loaded up by my bench;
I still have to paint, and mark with explosives signage, but am very happy with the result. When I brought it home, my wife even thought it would look nice in the living room
Thanks Wrong Way, you were great to deal with, and your work is top notch! And I hope Ruger is feeling better, awesome dog!
