does anyone know how to make a small tap box? or does anyone have tap boxes they are not using IE an empty tapbox that snuff came in like a gawith hoggarth tapbox if so i need a few so i dont get stuck having to use my fingers to put snuff on my finger nail for the box car method
You’re better off buy a snuffbox that comes with a slide for tapping. Patrick Collins makes some: http://woodensnuffbox.com The website is down at the moment; looks likes he’s upgrading. Keep your eye on it over the next few days, however. Less than $30, and you get a very nice, pocketable wooden snuffbox that should meet your criteria.
i need something waay cheaper than that im looking for something so i can have about 3-4 different snuffs in my pocket
The snuff boxes on mr. snuff all have slides on the side for use as tap boxes, although I glue them shut.
i dont have enough money left for those
If those dram bottles don’t work, Ziploc bags are cheap. Maybe you can find an old film canister or a clean and empty pill bottle. Alternately you can use something spoon-like to remove the snuff like a Czech tool, pipe nail, or snuff spoon.
i cant hold a tin and load my finger at the same time lol
You’ll probably have to set the tin down to use a spoon or hold the tin with the hand you use to boxcar. It’s doable.
A popsickle stick makes for a inexpensive snuff spoon. http://www.staples.com/BIC-Cristal-Ballpoint-Stick-Pens-Medium-Point-Dozen/product\_SS123885 Remove the ink part fill with snuff from back , remove cap and tap out snuff onto boxcar nail. Might get a pocket protector also to keep them neat.
good idea
