Accessory boxes?

Print Post  
A while back, I believe there was a thread about homemade accessory boxes. Darned if I can find it!  It was pointed out that someone was making high quality wooden boxes far cheaper than can be made at home. I would like to make/buy a few to have all the dies and accessories together in one place for any given rifle. Should make things easier for me and especially for the kids when I am no longer here and they are trying to sort things out.

Are you looking for plastic or wood boxes? If wood you can surely make up nice containers to your exact desired size/shape needed if you have a table saw for less $$ than buying.

There is no way I can make the quality of boxes this guy was selling for the price. Id rather shoot than make boxes.

Our friend the Marlin Guy posted that type of box vendor.  If he doesn’t chime in, I’ll try to find the link. Are you out there, Vall?  Undecided

W,
You musta missed his previous posts, his setup is about where I want to be when I finish the new shop.  He shoots all winter... Smiley Smiley Smiley

Boomer,
Maybe you need to run some more pics of your arrangement, "W" is a level headed guy and he'll be drooling out of both corners of his mouth with your setup...  Grin

This display box from Hampel's Woodland Products was $34 plus shipping.

This solid top box was under $20, but don't recall the exact price?

He also does custom boxes if you call and discuss what you need. I'm not going to build any myself as the materials will cost me what his boxes cost. Shipping on a large box might be pretty spendy, but it will be for any large case someone made for you.

Can't say enough about Hampels great quality and a great value. I will more than likely collaborate with them on prizes for the rimfire match I'm cooking up.
