helping grandson on cartridge collecting ----
My oldest sons boy, Carter is really fasinated with cartridges. He is only 7 so some of the books are a little over his head. I was just wondering if there is such a thing as a starter display board or does anyone have any layout info so as I could build one for him? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks Riomouse. -I have searched that cartridge site a little and will keep looking.
Thanks Savage. - That midway board looks like a neat start but I think he would outgrow it real fast. There has got to be someone out there that has done this and has some plans. With all the different sizes of shells, it has got me kind of perplexed.

You could probably adapt any curio shelf plan from the internet to hold cartridges. I don;t have any specific ones, but here's a website on collecting that can answer some of the questions he may have:

Try using a board and drilling holes in it, kind of like a case loading block. You could write the calibers on the board by their respective hole locations. 0 -

One idea is to look online or in antique shops for a printer's drawer/tray like this (usually around $30-40):

I have made my own display boards using plywood for the back and screwing 1"x2" shelves on. You can go to Home Depot or anybody like that and get a 2' x 4' piece of plywood and as much 1"x2" as you want for shelves.0
