Richard I salute your ability to understand that things like these boxes are for function and absolute perfection is not necessary. Another good vid my friend.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great video!! Can you tell me where you bought the paper for the boxes? Thanks!!

It's actually a very large roll of heavy masking paper from Lowes. It's like 30"X100', or somewhere around there.

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.
