Wooden Case Making

June 2014

I've just completed 3 weeks in a temp job making wood crates, designed to house things like aircraft parts when they need to be checked and calibrated.


Me with 32 boxes I made in just over four & a half hours 


The boxes are made from panels of plywood and softwood, nailed gunned together, the catches riveted in place. Then constructed into boxes from the panels.

I made a few other boxes but this was the majority of the work. I'd not used a nail gun before, 1000's of nails later I'm feeling pretty confident with a nail gun and have the aching muscles to prove it!
