Just showing off some more stuff I made. I listed these in my store last night and sold two already!      I'll be making another batch in a few weeks (I have some home projects I need to get done pretty soon.) I've gotten some requests, so plans include making some for 9mm, .38 Special, .44 Magnum, .45-70, and possibly .223. I've been having fun making the labels. One thing that is difficult is matching the fonts. One label I was copying had 10 different fonts on it. Sheesh.

I would love some .44 Special! If you make them, count on me for 4 boxes. I could also use some .32-20 and some .32 S&W Long, at least two boxes of each.

I put you on the list Fukshot. I have now have orders for about 19 more boxes. Sheesh.
It will probably be about 6 weeks before the next batch is done - I'll have to see where I can fit them in.

Get to mine when you have a chance. I'm not going to stop shooting any time soon.
Congrats on all the orders. Sounds like you have found a hot product.

Oh, you think those orders are bad, wait until I start requesting cartridge boxes for 6.5 Arisaka reloads. I want the Japanese characters absolutely correct and historically accurate , bub. Nothing that reads " This side up" or " Eat Uncle Taro's Dried Squid". All for a reasonable price, of course...

nice work. it'd be pretty amusing and kinda cool if you made a jumbo cribage board that uses spent casings for the pegs. maybe the cribage board could be shaped like a cartridge or something

Hey UV, if I mailed you a couple of old shotgun boxes could you make a box for some 12ga shells?

30-30Win? I'll second the 30-30. A 1890's 30WCF marked label would be awesome.

If you pm me your email address, I can email you hi-res pictures of many old cartridge boxes that I used in my books.
