Thanx a lot for posting this forum. To kill some time during this very cold and windy winter up here (alaska), I'm going to attempt to build one of these. I say attempt, because knowing me, I'll probably screw up at the very beginning and quit!

Oh, and I did some quick conversions...

Length (of base) 20.47 inches
Width (of base) 8.27 inches
Height (total) 16.14 inches
Width (of centre section) 11.22 inches
Height (of centre section) 9.84 inches
Bare weight ~ 8.82 lbs

G'day - I am currently building a field box (nowhere near as good as yours). I am interested in how you finished it (I know zilch about building and painting). I used sanding sealer to smooth the surface. I meant to use two coats but got bored so after doing one coat of sand sealer and sanding it, I painted the box with one layer of fuel proof enamel based paint. I will put another coat of paint on in a couple of days. The box has brush strokes and a few drip marks all over it. I would therefore like to use the same spray technique you did after sanding the box and putting another layer of paint on the box with a brush.

Which kind of spray paint did you use?
