Iron Monger Jimmy Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Howdy! I am looking for two all hardwood ammo boxes. One for my .45-70 and the other for my .45-120.. Any wood workers out there that might be interested in helping an old man out? My expertise lies in iron..not wood... Looking for either Oak (1st choice) or Cherry. Message me for the particulars if any of ya are interested,, Thank you all kindly Iron Monger Jimmy SASS#5115
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Look up 'Yul Lose', he's on this forum. He's the best there is.....
Warden Callaway Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 Read the title and thought, yes, I've made a wood box. But it is a firewood box. Been in use some 20 years. Repaired a couple of times. Beat up. But that's what it's for. Probably go for big bucks at our estate auction (some time in the distant future) being a rustic antique.
Iron Monger Jimmy Posted May 19, 2024 Author Posted May 19, 2024 Thank you all kindly.will message the gentleman here shortly... I would try it myself but for some reason wood and me do not get along well..I am still trying to figure out why they call it ironwood when you can't forge it?? Talk about something being red-short... Iron Monger Jimmy SASS#5115
Dusty Woodman Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 I am Dusty Woodman and the name says it all. Wood boxes. Not a problem. Custom grips. All day long. Other "furniture" related items. Let's talk.

Dusty Woodman Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 I thought I would post some photos of some of my work. You can't just take my word and Rob's. Shot Shell Boxes. Winchester magazine screwdrivers. A stand for a loading black powder pistol. And some grips. All scratch made. If I could make a living building stringed instruments I would so this stuff is easy.
Iron Monger Jimmy Posted May 19, 2024 Author Posted May 19, 2024 Day-Um...those are NICE!!! I just can't seem to do woodworking and my leatherworking is even worse...Steel I know... Attaching a few photos of past work I want the wood boxes to go with my highwall and rolling block... Iron Monger Jimmy SASS#5115
Warden Callaway Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 We have two boxes that came from Wally-World. I put a lift out tray in one and use it to haul my black powder stuff. The other has 38 ammo in it. A company in Huston Missouri make boxes but they don't retail. https://www.evanssports.com/
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 Some very nice work ! We have talented people here in SASS . This is by far the best shooting organization in the world . Rooster
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 19, 2024 Posted May 19, 2024 Nothing fancy, but "MICHAELS CRAFTS" as small wood boxes. A little stain and PRESTO. Just a thought.
Dusty Woodman Posted July 21, 2024 Posted July 21, 2024 Boxes are ready except for the leather strap. Waiting to hear back from Jimmy on that detail.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 I want a custom box for one of my revolvers.
Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 Might also check out Hampel's Woodland Products at www.hampelswoodlandproducts.com I have had two boxes made by them and I'm well satisfied.
watab kid Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 that reminds me i need a holster for my buntline - but ill also note some nive woodwork above , i bet one of them can do what you need done
Lucky R. K. Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 Here is a box I made several years ago. It has multiple trays that can be easily swapped out. There is a tray for C & B pistol, M/L shotgun. 10, 12, and 16 Ga. shotgun wads and a tray for accessories. The covered boxes on the top right are for shot and powder. Lucky
