Project Information

For those of you kind enough to look at this, yes, I know that the upper door handles aren't even. I also have not put the locks on the doors yet.

Overall I learned more on this project. Still several things that I need to improve on, but I do feel it's a big improvement over a year ago. It's 72 inches tall, 36 inches wide and 13 inches deep. Made of Beetle Kill Pine. The panels in the bottom doors are Eastern Red Cedar. I like the way the Red Cedar and Blue Pine go together.

Thanks for looking

Monte,

The colors are complimentary, You can fix the handles with a fabricated wood plate? Is it the camera angle or are your doors warping?

What did you learn? It's a Monte Pitman original!

Camera angle. I am very happy to say that the doors are fine.

Nice gun cabinet Monte, you are right about the red cedar complimenting the blue pine. One of the nicest gun cabinets I've seen.

Looking good Monte,

I have been looking for Eastern Red Cdear here in Brisbane but have had no luck yet.

Its great to see what it actually looks like in such a nice project, well done.

I was also looking back on the projects I made 12 months ago and the improvements I can now do.

For example I would have never even considered making my own wooden hinges, now my next project will have them on it.

Regards

Very nice but locks are useless on glass doors. Glass or wood doors offer zero security. Ask me how I know.

Very Nice Monte, did you use glass for the doors? Live edges nice, that's some really rustic looking cabinet.

I think Knothead62 hit on something there, I've seen dressers with hidden side doors on each side that hide and conceal rifles and hand guns along with ammo storage to boot, I'm thinking that's where we are heading today, having to hide our weapons, I've been making my men's valet boxes with the hidden compartment on top but they are only good for pocket and compact size hand guns, I've had a glock 9MM alone with two clips and ammo fit in them.

None the less Monte that cabinet looks very…. Nice!

Good looking cabinet Monte. Locks seem like a good idea to keep children out.
Reminds me of the shefiffs gun cabinets of years past only nicer!

Very nice! I have always wanted to attempt a gun Cabinet. The beetle kill wood is a nice choice for this, like out of the old west. Nice work!!

Love the live edges Monte. Beetle kill pine is an awesome looking wood, and the red cedar goes well with it. I've got some of the blue pine and looking forward to making something with it. Great job.
