Paper Cartridge Boxes - An Easy wood project
Рет қаралды 8,705
Жыл бұрынBack in the days of the Civil War, the troops would carry paper cartridges for their cap-and-ball revolvers, in small wooden boxes with a paper wrapping. Follow along as I make a somewhat "modern version" with a reusable, heavy paper sleeve stamped with a period correct logo on the front. This is yet another excuse to use the new Miter Saw too!

Pop-up ad during video for Leupold sunglasses. I didn't know they had sunglasses. Oh yeah, nice cartridge box too. Thanx for letting everyone know where they could have a custom stamp for a project like this made. I had no idea Staples did that sort of thing.

I didn't either. Thanks! They're a little pricey if you're only going to make a few, but I think they look pretty good.

I made the .36 blocks by using a twist drill instead of a forstner bit the 7/16" twist drill works OK you just have to be careful about depth. Another great video thank you.
@SmallCaliberArmsReview Жыл бұрын
I picked up a 7/16 forstner bit a couple days ago, I probably won't make a video but I will make a few .31/.36 boxes soon. Who knows, I may just do a "short" video. Thanks for watching!

I made up some wood Ctg boxes back in the 90s. I drilled the holes as close together as I could and then sanded the outsides to as near the holes as I could. I wanted them to fit into the civil pistol cartridge box that I had. even so, three boxes would not fit into the leather box, vertically, On end, I could fit one vertically, then the other two could go in length wise, one on top of theother, But, The flap tab hole would not reach thefinial, so I had to cut another hole, to close the flap. I guess these leather pistol boxes arent made dimensionally well.

I read somewhere the people were sent a description of the components they were supposed to make, and there may have been some interpretation differences.

Thank you for showing us your process. I'm in the process of making paper cartridges for my Colt Pocket Model. The wood cartridge blocks look great! I think I want some. I was thinking about using a twist drill for the holes, the using a 1/4" Forstner to dress the bottom of the hole. If I can get the dimensions right it may make the cartridges easier to handle.
@SmallCaliberArmsReview Жыл бұрын
You're welcome! The boxes make storage and handling much easier!
@deucedeuce1572 Жыл бұрын
If possible, I would make each hole to be the exact size and shape as the cartridges, so there is no room for them to bounce around. Would keep them undamaged, but might be harder to build.

Oh yeah, you'd have to have a special tapered drill bit made. I cant afford that!

I know everyone always says "I would do this"... but they oftentimes fail to consider the extra time everything takes. (and I'm sure I've been in that crowd a couple times).

Wow nice, did you do the label online and then sent it in, or printed it on paper and showed them ???? I'm intrigued🤔
@SmallCaliberArmsReview Жыл бұрын
You can do it online but, I went into the store just to make sure the dimensions were correct for my block. I had the label on a thumb drive. They scaled it, printed it on paper and let me verify before making the stamp.

Hi, why don’t you create a template for drilling of the holes then you do not have to measure or figure out each time the spacing ? Ricky from IBM

The paper cartridge kit is 3D printed but the boxes I made are all wood and drilled out like the originals were. (sort of, my drill press is electric) I didn't want to make an exact reproduction of the originals, they were a one-time use, then they were trash. Thanks for watching!

Entirely possible. I just wanted to make something that looked like it could have been around in that time period. The originals also had a string or wire that you would pull to tear open the package, I didn't want to make a "one time use" cartridge box though.
