New gun storage....

[jasonk]

I've seen other similar hidden systems, but this one seems better done then most, I'm impressed.

Probably costs more than a 2000# safe though.

Functional artwork of sorts. I like the center vertical drawer.

Re: New gun storage....

I saw this vid the other day on one of the firearm blogs. The designer, builder, etc. made a lengthy post with more details on the unit depicted in the video. I'll try to track it down in a minute, but the cost was $3500 for the one in the video.


ETA: Well, finding it didn't take nearly as long as I thought. Figures!

The designer/builder's comment is roughly half-way down the page in the comments section, but here is a direct link:

Those locks look like the FirstAlert (or whatever the brand is) child locks that keep children out of cabinets.

I have the same ones and they work good but they're made of cheap plastic but physical security isn't really the main factor in this design anyway.

That is very nicely done.

Would love to see some of those in person, if they feel as well done as they look, I would not mind having one of those when we build.

That's pretty bad ass. I have been looking to build something like this instead of going the safe route. I am still on the fence about which way to go and while this is nice work and the wood can be expensive, I think $3500 is a little steep. My biggest concern is what does it look like from the back? Like if it is knocked over how easily would these things come open and visible?

Instead of one large unit I think I want his furniture in every room from book case, to end tables, to computer desks. Awesome vid.

Nothing securing to the studs wouldn't fix. I would just like the plans and I would build it myself in my shop. It is nice work though, it's not easy building secret compartments into solid wood cabinetry and making it look invisible.

Re: New gun storage....

^^^ I totally agree. I wish I had he plans to. I would building at my dads house. I wonder if he would sell us the plans. $3500 is a lot. I mean it looks nice but you can get a decent safe for that or cheaper. However, I really like this hidden in plain sight aspect.

Re: New gun storage....

I'd like to know how he can build it with tight tolerances to mask the joints and still not be effected by seasonal humidity changes.

Re: New gun storage....

I'd almost rather get a nice safe and build a hidden wall around it. Just take a few feet off the end of a room. Cool idea, just way too much money. He should patent the design and mass produce so he could sell volume at a lower price. I'd pay $1000 for one.

It would be perfect if you lived in a country that didn't allow firearms(or limited rights).
