Eric, I've never owned a gunning box but if I had to pick the nicest wooden chests I've ever seen it would have to be a Gerstner Machinist tool box. I'm trying to imagine how the interior layout would be, but I'm coming up short. My two cents

I'll go with Todd on this one. More weight, low down. To try maybe your local tire store has some used wheel weights you could clamp on and try? Most of the shops in my area cant wait to get rid of used weights! Once you figure out how much weight then you can make a mold. And where is the Dixie...

That's a real nice black.

Great guns, and good looking pups too!

Eric and Dani, if you haven't read this https://www.robbwhite.com/sportboat.html about the sportboat, you should . Dani, Robb White is from down your way, maybe this is your perfect boat?

Thank you John! I will look.

As long as we are on the subject of shells, does anyone know of a source for 2 1/2" 12 ga. lead game loads? I like the Gamebore variety, but can't find them recently. Thank you in advance.

John Gardner's book Classic Small Craft has a section on building a sneakbox. It has two piece frames overlapped. Every frame used the same curve, positioned for height. TH plans took me a while to figure out, but its definitely unique!

Awesome. I had to steal it and post on Facebook for a couple friends who WILL get sucked right in... Thank you!

I have a running joke with a friend about this! Her one responsibility in life ( she is a hobby jumper) is to learn to shoot a flaming arrow to touch off my pyre. Sending her the link now! Thank you.

Patrick, That gun pictures is an early Fox Philadelphia gun . The pin is a dead giveaway. I would be very surprised if it was a 2 3/4 gun, unless it was modified later.

I'm pretty sure the lines are in this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0070228647/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i2

Thank you Dani.

I made one similar to that a few years ago, except with a y board configuration. It worked well on Eider.

Thanks Carl. It's my turn this year as well, so the heads up on expectations is appreciated!

For what its worth, because I hunt a lot of salt water the brass on my shells gets rusty if I leave them in the box (to the point they won't cycle). I will throw the shells in a quart sized zip lock bag, and then spray them lightly with CLP. Eliminates the rust issue, and might eliminate the box...

I still have to blink twice when I see you talking about woodcock in Florida...But if you saw any, that's great! I only saw two during season in Maine this year, and just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on either. hopefully the birds will like that new growth, and repopulate!

Thanks Scott. I'll look further.

Neat build Scott. I look forward to seeing more on it. Do you have a link for more information on the jet drives? You have made me curious...

Hang tough Tom, you have my best wishes.
