Volume 1 / Part 7 — A Fishhook Box
Reading edition
Made of Shotgun Shells
A box that may be used to hold fishhooks, sinkers, matches or any small articles, can be made from two empty shotgun cartridges as shown in the sketch. The paper is cut from the brass part of one shell at the place marked A, Fig. 1, and the brass part, Fig. 2, is used for a cap on the other shell (Fig. 3). Coating the box with shellac will improve its appearance.
