Picked up a couple lockers from the old Pontiac Fiero plant. They were bound to be destroyed and sold for scrap, so I asked the foreman if I could have them. Theyre 2 sets of double lockers, meaning each unit is 2 lockers. Ive cleaned them and began working on them, they wont offer much safety when it comes to someone breaking in and attempting to get into them, but then again, Ive got the home cameras, dogs and usually my wife or I are home, if not, Ive got a trusted Army buddy staying at my house.
Anyway, got me to thinking, how many people do it the cheap/fun way and make their own vs going out and spending 3k on safes? Idealy Id love to get a safe, just can not afford one.
If youve made a weapon safe/locker, post a picture, I could use some ideas. My idea is using 1 side for pistol/ammo storage and the other for long guns and long gun ammo storage. Long gun side measures about 56" tall & 23" deep. Pistol side shelfs are 6", 8", 16" and 24" by 23" deep on all 4 sections. Not sure how Im going to make a weapon rack for my rifles yet, looking for a piece of metal that I can bolt into it, wood floor & felt surrounding all parts of the inside. Not sure how Im going to reenforce it yet, but may just leave the walls they way they are.
Anyway, Pictures of your weapon projects and safes if youve got them, this is my first weapon project, kinda excited, Ill make a youtube video and post the link when I get it finished. One of the lockers is in real rough shape, may just use it for scrap pieces and use the sides to reenforce my actual gun locker. Anyway. Suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
