Hand made built in Gun Cabinet

In the last few days I have started the last major part of my new Deer Den. See years ago I had a gun cabinet that I obviously stored my guns but I never had a place to put it that was out of sight from visitors to my home which was my wife Heidi's concern. So to make a long story short I disposed of the gun cabinet (except for the frosted deer glass door) and stored my guns in cases.

Now that I have a den which is out of site from visitors and a seperate secure place from the den I was able to have my gun cabinet back. With out going to much into detail of where it is let me just say that you would not know it was there unless I told you it was, it is completely enclosed.

Here are a few pictures of it's progress,





I am sure glad I saved that door (all these years) with the frosted deer scene on the glass. I still have a lot of sanding to do and molding to put on and I need to make a door for the storage area below but, I think it is going to be very nice and very secure.

Nice work Rick. Nothing easy (IMO) about building a cabinet around a glass door. Looking forward to more pictures as you progress.

Thanks, I really do love to work with wood and yes it really is difficult to build a cabinet around a glass door.

That Marlin looks like it's right at home there. Nice figure on the paneling. Coming along very nicely Rick.

Yes It will be very secure for you and the doors are saved after closed. I want to see its furnished.
