I made this one last year after much, much reserch, scaling photographs, etc. It's heavy, and hell for stout.
It measures 21" long, 12" wide, and 10" high. It's mostly pine, a full 1" thick. The corners are dovetailed.
The oak strips that circumvent the lid are 3/4"x1 1/2", and are mitered at the corners.
The bottom corner pads are 2 pcs. of 1/8"x 2 1/4" wide, with bottom pc. made from 1/4" stock, all open corner welded then ground smooth and rounded.
The reenforcement strips are 3/16"x 3/4" flat bar, fastened with 3/16" wagon box rivets that I got on a visit to Texas Wagon Works in Gonzales, Texas.
The reenforcement strip for the lid and on the inside is 1/8'x 1" flat bar.
The 6" strap hinges are from Tractor Supply, but the top pc. had to be extended to match the pictures of the original. Fastened with rivets and flat head screws as per originals.
The hasp is flame cut from 1/4" plate. The strap holding it is 1/4"x 1 1/2" flat bar, which I did a little blacksmithing on.
I used a rattle can of Valspar hunter green. The color is darker than what the pictures show. The letters are stenciled.
The handles are my invention. I spent a whole day making those up. (the devil is in the details)
Lots of good reference pictures in R.L. Wilson's book "The Peacemakers".
I tried to make it as close to an original as possible. Varnished walnut, although pretty, does not make it for me.
Feel free to ask questions.
