Rustic Prohibition Crates - Making Props For a Party

A good friend of mine has a sister that likes to throw parties. I made these liquor crates for an upcoming event. The theme is inspired by "1920s Great Gatsby."

The label on the crates is totally fictitious. I upcycled old boards from a barn roof. The black paint on the boards is tar from fastening the bitumen roofing felt.

I've been looking for a good way to make an army style supply crate out of pallets and I think the way you've constructed this crate is just about what I was looking for!

Hello sir,
I wanted to let you know that I have probably seen every wooden crate video on YouTube and I really find that this design is by far the best. I did however use screws instead of nails.

I make these for presents, furniture, bedside tables, and I just recently finished my bedroom closet and I have these all stacked up. Looks great. Every time people come over they’re always impressed with the boxes and they ask where I bought them. On shelves i treat the wood with a beeswax and the slide so nice.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your work. Have a nice day

Adding the branding at the end really made it look authentic 😊

I just watched your whole playlist over the last few days. Its a shame you stopped. I hope things went well with whatever you did instead.

By far the most efficient simplest economical way to build a great box. Thank you for your time and effort. . Actually these boxes could be stacked, the bottom runners should fit into the the top of the box it is seated on pretty much exactly. And your bird nesting boxes are rippers.

Very clever idea making the base ‘inside out’ then flipping it 👍👍

Hey Finn it maybe none of my business but I was wondering why you stopped uploading videos, you really have some great DIY content. It's your business I was just wondering

Nice job, they look pretty authentic. cutting the stencil looks like the most difficult part of this build.

INCREDIBLE !!!! That is some class at work there!

Such a beautiful end result. And much kudos on reusing old roofing boards! Recycling takes a lot of effort but patina like that can't be bought at the hardware store :)

[tableshaper]

That must have been one hell of a party!

[DenverChiropractor]

kinda cool actually! (I ended up building one...really like it)

[cheflorenzo]

It would be nice if you could provide the measurements of the boards, etc.

without doubt...THIS MUST BE IZZY SWAN´S

super cool crates, love how much the patina of the wood adds. Great video and edit too.
