Shell Box 1

Note: This box can also be build using your standard 3/4" plywood.  With this box I was trying to recreate and old fashioned ammo crate. This was the main reason for not using plywood.

Materials
 2 - Door Hinges
1 - 2x3 96" length
4 - 1x8 72" length
1 - 1x2 72" length

When you are storing shells on the field around the firing site, you should make sure that they are kept covered to prevent accidental ignition. This box was designed for 3" - 5" shells for my professional displays, that I do. It also works very well to carry all of your shells and other things you need to the firing area in one compact container.
1. Cut the wood

7. Door Handle (Optional)
If you want buy a cabinet door handle or some other type of hand and attach it to the trunk of your box.
 		  
8. Polyurethane the crate (Optional)
If you want your fireworks crate to last for a while I would recommend that you polyurethane it or paint it flat black to protect the wood.
