DIY Gun Cabinet. My kids are getting older and I figured it was time to build a gun cabinet to safely hold my guns. I made this gun cabinet out of 4x8 sheet of oak. Hopefully this video will help anyone wanting to make one. Please comment with any questions you might have.

Very nice job. I agree with you with carpet on the inside. It protects the rifles. I like the idea of the magnets not for the handguns but more for magazines. Also why not just drill a small hole in the shelf so the rifle can sit nice.

@anmaddox18810 3 жыл бұрын

If someone wanted to build this with a reinforced metal interior, how would you go about that? Obviously you would have to make it a little larger, but what sort of metal would you use (obviously nothing corrugated). Thinking about making this but since I live in an apartment complex I think I'd much rather have it up armored, and a safe is out of the question due to its weight.

@michaelsullivan6368 2 жыл бұрын

I built mine like this but added a couple layers metal grid fencing stuff (corrugated would be even stronger, but heavier) on the inside and sandwiched it between the outer 3/4" wood and an interior 1/4" piece, to which I added felt lining. Beefed it up a bit if someone tries to take a saw to it.

@johnferry9508 Жыл бұрын

Hello, I have the measurements from your video, however it doesn’t show the rack dimensions where the barrels go. I’m trying to figure the spacing from center to center of each slot as well as the center of the end slots to the cabinet wall. I lot of woodworkers are telling me to keep the slots at least 3.5” center to center and center of end slots at least 3” center to cabinet wall. I’ve sent you an email hope you got it and can give some more information. I do hav e scope on one gun and two are bolt actions if that helps. Thanks Maine Guide
