Bar - Gun Cabinet - Hidden Room

Those are some nice cabinets! I like the built in gun cabinet.

The cabinets are beautiful. I love the floor to ceiling wall paneling as I am a firm believer that you can’t put too much wood into a house.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice story!

Outstanding Project – craftsmanship and attention to detail are fantastic – Ingenious idea for the “safe room” – keep both guns and valuables away from the “bad guys”!

Being from the south, nothing goes together for me like bars and guns! <grin>

(Just kidding… really nice work.)

As always, a creative project expertly executed with flawless results. I like the tray you put in the back of the bar top. Good story,
thanks for sharing this project with us.

I could use a hidden room, definetly if it had those cabinets, nice work

Ooooo, soo smooth!
VERY pretty ( yeah, a guy said that, so what!)
Having put “seamless” finish grade burch up in my house in the office, down the hall and to the latter half of the living room, I really, really dig all that wood action! You’ve created an absolutely artistic little niche for entertaining. Aside from all that, the Gun cabinet is a very nice touch; is there a light in it down below or up above for a nice ambient night light glow? The idea for the hidden room was ingenious! Especially to have stuck it in behind the gun cabinet, usually one would expect to find that behind a book case or the like… here, though, the downstairs bathroom vanity with an attached mirror isn’t even attached to the wall. Some of our friends have almost “complained” about how since we like to get the most out of a space, why does our downstairs bathroom have so much open floor space…? A Great job by an obvious master craftsman.

-- Sometimes my wife wishes that she was a block of wood... ;-)

Beautiful! That is some fine workmanship. That hidden room really paid off.

Very nice… great story.

I always wanted to make something like this to protect my firearms. Really neat idea ! Looks Great!

Great idea and a great job. An a happy customer what more could a craftsman want except a bonus.

Hi , what is the bar top made from ?

-- You know you're getting old when you know the difference between you're (you are) and your (belonging to you) AND how to use them in a sentence .

Hi Dusty56

The bar top is made of 45lb cabinet grade particle board. Two 3/4” pieces thick. The bottom is covered with backer and the top is covered with laminate.

God Bless

Beautiful work.

and I never thought to have GUNS in my bar. You sir are a visionary. It might make those Cribbage games a tad less rowdy.

-- When my wife ask's what I have to show for my wood working hobby, I just show her the splinters.

Just ran across this searching ‘bar’ in the tags list. VERY NICE. I too love the idea of hidden rooms. Out of sight out of mind, I ernestly believe clever concealment trumps even the most sophiticated security devices.

I told me wifey this morning (early september) that I wanted to build for her for xmass- no, how about our anniversey (may) a piece of furnicture… she wants a bar. What a great design and great look we will be using your work as a stepping stone for our new bar. Thank you thank you thank you. Great Job!
