Bill Hudson Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I am thinking of making a strong box as my next project. I have three choices, 1) a steel strong box with hasp, 2) a wood and steel Wells Fargo strong box with hasp or a solid steel 3) Wells Fargo strong box with a complicated bar latch mechanism with a key lock back up. 3) building in 1/12th would make a very delicate key of the working lock so I would prefer to do int in a larger scale. I am kind of fond of the wood and steel box. Feed back appreciated. (1) (2) (3) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElgaKoster Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well, I kind of lean towards the wooden box too...and I always think it is best to make the one you like the most, otherwise I find the enjoyment in the making goes awol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob McGinnis Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Bill, after seeing a larger photo of the #1 box I do like the Wood and Metal. Its a hard choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hudson Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 While I kind of like box #2 I have found out it is just a fake reproduction of a box that does not really exist. Probably made in China, India or some where like that. I see a lot of these kind o things appearing antique stores supposedly sole as authentic and it angers me. For a while it was fake antique doll carriages.This little box (may look familiar to you) is beginning to look good to me too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
