Custom Relic Wood Boxes - What do you Use to Store your BP supplies?

[Spaxspore]

Wanted to share my custom Relic Wood Boxes that I had made. I use these for black powder shooting/ black powder storage.

The Naval scene on my black powder range box is the famous duel between the USS Constitution and the HMS Guerriere during the war of 1812.

The Blackpowder Chest has 13 colonies Flag on top with a scene from the Battle of Long island inside.

Feel free to share what you use for the BP storage needs or BP range box.

Those boxes are real nice and a lot of work. I like having everything neat and in their place. One of my projects this winter has been getting everything into their own custom gun cases and making shooting Boxes. Here are the three boxes I happen to be working on now. These three are for 12, 20, and 10 gauge supplies. I am waiting on containers that will fit correctly inside so I can put wads, shot, cards, primers etc.

I have an old metal printer tractor feed cabinet with magnetic closing doors.. The cabinet could hold quite a few pounds.

I would never store any of my truly collectable originals in a case that conspicuous.

This is what I use. I bought two from Runnings. Yours are much more elegant.

You guys are way more organized than me. My stuff is scattered haphazardly on a folding table in my office. I know where everything is so I guess it works.

i dont store firearms in said boxes just shooting supplies ie balls and powder etc. Firearms are in the safe

I got something similar like that for my snider cartridges

As far as storing my black powder the cans are in a cardboard shipping box out in the detached garage on a shelf about 40 pounds last time I looked. As far as shooting boxes I have an old photographers hinged box and an old machinist's segmented wood box my grandfather gave me. As far as modern stuff I have a tool box called a Tuff Box for the range with unmentionables.

I've been using the same WW2 , 5" by 8" by 12" sheet steel tool box . I use the loose in the box , organization method. I see a handfull of either .40 , or .50 cal lead balls , plastic tape can of lubricated patches , a rag to control excess patch lube , and cut cleaning patches from the same rag. , a ramrod tip , appliance or so. And a felt tip marker to record errant bullet holes and write some excuse like meteor strike at the 50 yd. target butt. A small hammer and a sight drift punch. Can't forget a couple of powder measures , and one adjustable measure , and a couple spare flints , and flint leather. Box of thumb tacks to mount targets. Ear plugs. Screw driver.
That's about it. This mess obviously shows , I'm lazy , who cares.

I use a large portmanteau, inside are 4 cartridge boxes, a flint wallet, another wallet (fuse/pyrite), a smaller portmanteau for loading cartridges, portmanteau for cleaning, portmanteau for small tools, and a few grades of powder. All leather is hand cut with the Spanish crowned R on the flap. With this setup I can grab it and have everything for a few guys to go shooting.

Most of my stuff is in a cheap plastic tool box I bought probably 25 years ago. It suffices. What's left is hanging on a hook in my work room or on a shelf.

I like the idea. Pics please?

We get quality gun cases to protect our cherished and sometimes rare firearms and our investment in them. It's amazing that over the years the investment into powder, caps, flints and bullets and the rarity may now be surpassing that of the firearm.

I tend to wreck anything that looks good so I just use the military metal ammo boxes.
