    I am pricing expanded metal right now for the inside of mine. Then to hide it.




    I want a slow motion video camera to mess with now. 12:30 is the fire part.

    Just paint it white, add a weather seal in the gap, slap on a Maytag decall and call it a day.

    It's certainly not secure, but a while back I ran out of surplus ammo cans and couldn't find any at an even semi reasonable price...so I got some NEW and unused metal paint cans at Lowe's. Filled up with ammo they are a manageable weight, they stack ok and are air tight. Plus they cost like $3.

    Ammo cans are getting real expensive.

    Damn, that's a good idea.
