How crappy does this crate look? Should I scrap it and start over?

No no, I really like it. Tidy some of the glue off and it'll look quite good. Stain it a little too. The box looks quite old in construction, so its colour should represent its age.


Good work

The frame around the base and top look pretty thick in scale.

A little large to my eye.
Both in overall size and in the individual components. The scale of the vertical side boards look better than the horizontal lid ones.

Any stencils or lables?

What is supposedly stored in it?

How is is lifted? (grab handles or lifting points)

How is it sealed? nails, latch

Thank you everyone! That is what I was needing. I just thru it together to see if it would be worth the trouble. I cut all of the wood freehand so I could do better with a straight edge.

The top looks to be about the size of a 2x6 or 2x8. I was wanting to make something for Observation Officer could be standing on. I thought it might could be some ammo crates or something.

Any better ideas?

Thanks again!
