I was thinking of making afew, although i wont be able to do the dove tailing so i might jus nail it together and use a knife to mark it? Probably going to go up to belfast some time next week to get the latch required, is there a specific type of hinge needed?

These boxes are based on 4 originals I own - no dovetailing, butted and screwed joints only, and no metal work, only leather straps to secure (2 at the rear, 1 at the front. The idea was that the one at the front was cut and the other 2 acted as hinges. I have screwed them down as per the originals and then slit the front part so that it can be secured). I managed to make 22 of them from two 8'x4' sheets of 12mm ply.

The labels are easy to make - have a hunt around on dealers websites and you'll find them. The yellow are for tracer, the blue stiped are copper core with a steel jacket without loaders.

How are they screwed Dave? Is it two philips type screws? Screw nails? - At the end of each joint?

Cheers

From memory it's just 3 countersunk slot head screws on each joint.

Cheers mate.

Btw - finding the labels on the net is the easy part, reading whats written in tiny script is the hard bit! I dont suppose you have an example you can put up please?
