Made from 1×4 pine and 1/2 pine ply, glue, screws and staples. If they ever come a part, I'll be damned! lol. I got lots of scrap that I'll use to make cooler stands that look like this one I did a while back, these are nice sellers for me as well.
It's funny you say that, when I built the very first one for the prototype locker, I delivered it to where it was going to be loaded on a truck, snapped this photo with the caption
"Black SUV, tinted windows, large wooden crate in back… not a cartel gun runner. Nothing to see here, carry on."
Matt, woodworking is just something I do in my free time, sell some stuff to make money for tools, and lumber. I work in an office all day for the most part.
Interesting project even if the work itself is a bit boring - what are these crates used for? They all seem to be the same size is the interior also the same?
Looking good to me.I could never imagine anyone getting these delivered with somthing nice inside. and discarting them out. Actually maybe they would throw out the contents and just settle for the container.LOL Alistair
These are for a sporting goods store, inside are basically, school lockers. The store will fill them with stuff, lock it, and whoever has the correct key/combination to unlock it win what's inside. The locker and crates will routinely be shipped all over the country. The insides are lined with carpet.
The very first one had hasps on it, and they got beat to holy heck during shipping, so this one has ratchet straps to secure them. The straps are screwed to the crates so they don't get lost.
During transport, they can't be locked. I would guess that if during shipment, and the driver would be pulled over, or at weigh station, if the load were to be inspected, Law Enforcement would check to insure they were not loaded with AK's and 7.62 rounds.
