As some of you may already know my older brother (Joe) owns a online sword business (click here to see).
Myself and a few of my other brothers also help him with the business. We also sell products at re-enactments and many other historical events. However transporting lots of weapons in cardboard boxes has been quite a challenge. Until we thought of making some wooden boxes instead. Of course me being the carpenter in the family meant I had to make it. My Dad however has done quite a bit of woodwork over the years, so with his help we both made it work. The pictures below show step by step how we put it together. Enjoy and leave a comment below to tell us what you think.

| It begins |
 |
| Drilling some screws into the bottom |
 |
| Putting the side on |
 |
| More drilling... |
 |
| And more... |
 |
| And more |
 |
| Until... |
 |
| TA DA! |
 |
| You have a box |
 |
| And a lid |
 |
| We based the size on the boxes we had before |
 |
| So all the swords could fit in together |
 |
| Then I started staining it |
 |
| Me and my dad also added a border around the sides to cover up all the screws |
 |
| Me drilling (again!) holes for the handles |
 |
| I was a little squished while doing it though |
 |
| Cutting some rope for the handles |
 |
| And there you have it! |
 |
| A brand new wooden box for all our future events |
