Hey Silverfox and all, :hatsoff:
I'm kind of like some of the others. You got some good variations of boxes. Don't give up - just adjust. Like one of those Clint Eastwood things - "Adapt and Overcome".
I've been thinking about some boxes too (you get laid off and all sorts of ideas start popping).
I think I'm going to try some Western Red Cedar planed down in thickness for light weight. I did one in pine and planed it down to about 3/8 inch thick last year for my local rondyvoo plunder box, and used some of those cast/cut style nails on the outside. The problem I had was hinges and hasp to do semi period correct. I ship-lapped the joints and sealed it good.
I think its like my camp kitchen - it will work until I get the next one built - then its on the blanket. The real one at rondyvoo or the electronic one at eBay.
Good Luck, :thumbsup:
