Anyone willing to post up photo's of how they are storing their powder? Going to make a box using double thickness 3/4 plywood. Some rough dimensions would help too.Thanks.

I think you're wrong....besides, putting large volumes of explosive powder in a metal container is not a good idea. Unless you mean the "new" regs that got pimpslapped.
Wood container, brass screws/hinges and lock. Safe and legal (for now

my shelf won't make a very good picture.... Hard to have a box big enough for 40 or 50 lbs of powder, i would have no where to put it....
x2.
There is already a thread on this in this forum.
Also good info on the CSSA site in the Legal section
3/4 plywood (or any other wood) Non-ferrous (Brass) hardware and locked.
I bought a scrap piece of plywood at Rona 3/4" x 2'x4' and made a nice box, brass screws & hinges, all for about $40 tops in an afternoon.
Check out the CSSA site for the details.

just store it on the top shelf of your closet with a lock on the door just as safe as our local store which has between 50-75 pounds out in the open on shelves.behind the counter of course.put primers else where.
I may need a tinfoil hat but I really don't think it is a good idea to post on a public forum that you are improperly storing or storing more power than the regulations allow. This could cause you significant difficulties in collection on your insurance in the case of a fire and may lead to stricter rules on powder quantity/storage.
Read the regulations and comply or don't comply your choice--just don't advertise.

Thanks.
There seems to be some misconception regarding how much powder one can store in their residence. Even the sticky at the top of this forum section is misleading.
So, an individual can store up to 75 kg of powder (which includes both "black powder" and "smokeless powder") in a dwelling house, provided that it is stored in compliance with Part XII of the Explosives Regulations . If the powder is stored in a "detached store," then all 75 kg may be stored together. If it is stored in a "suitable receptacle", then each "suitable receptacle" must hold no more than 10 kg, but the allowable aggregate remains 75kg.
I can't speak for storing in the open on a shelf or in a cupboard though.

We just recently went through this here: http://canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7126682&postcount=10
Cancer: Can you please post your references regarding 10kg max per suitable receptacle. That's not the way I read it. Thanks.

Okay, so maybe my initial post was too ambigious. All I'm looking for are pics of storage boxes. I was just hoping someone might post up a pic of something that I hadn't thought of, design wise for a powder storage. Thanks.

I meant the exact references that make you think the limit is 10kg max per suitable container. I've read the current regs and that's not my take on it. I'd like to see what sections you're seeing that gives you that impression.
