I know, I know... many of you, just like me, have been wondering what to do with those old 50 pound dynamite crates you have sitting around. Well here you have it, if you stack them 2 high they make great bedside tables/bookshelves! Do take the dynamite out first though, the fumes can give you a terrible headache!

In so far as we live in a world where anything not specifically permitted is forbidden, now for the disclaimer: These are antique dynamite crates & no they didn't have any explosives in them when I got them. So there!

The Dupont Duobel B sticks were used mostly in mining and were considered, by the Bureau of Mines, a "permissible explosive" is that they produced little (read less than some other explosives) flame and were less likely to create an unwanted explosion in coal mines with possible gas pockets.
