I have seen alot of instructions and videos on how to make explosion boxes.
They just seemed to be too much work.
I needed a way to make them easier and faster.
I saw a picture of an explosion box that looked pretty simple.
I couldn't find instructions for it so I created my own.
I am probably way off compared to the original , however, mine work and look just as nice.
I can't wait to have a class on this!
