By the way, name the Mosin crate coffee table"The Panty Dropper", 'cause that is what is going to happen when chicks see your kick ass style. Do you really have to use a coaster for your Coke?

I'm glad you like it. Well that coaster is a prototype for another project I've got in the works. If it comes out of Beta stage I'll post more pics.

Check your local gun shop. Mine got shipments of those mosins and kept the crates then sold them.

Well I coated the whole outside (where it's painted) with at least 3 coats of polyurethane, which I think did a pretty decent job of sealing up the paint.



Thanks again for the positive feedback. I know it would of looked sweet stripping the whole thing and re-staining it, there's so many areas where the sun don't shine on this crate that to do a good job I'd probably have to take everything on the outside off to make it look right. Also, I wanted to keep the look of it being a surplus military crate, otherwise, as another person pointed out, I would of saved a lot more time and sweat buying a fancy wooden coffee table.
