    Gun Racks

    A while back there was a thread about gun racks. Thought you might like to see one I've knocked up. It started life as a cheapo B&Q bookcase and ended up like this through trial and error! It's free standing and will fit inside a single wardrobe or small(ish) cupboard.

    Looks very good! What did the original bookcase look like? As in: how much altering did you do to the basic item?

    My thoughts exactly Ian I have seen a few others based upon bookshelf’s, which were obviously still bookshelf’s but that’s excellent DJP

    Gaz, exactly right on the guns mate!

    BTW there is very little of the original bookshelf left - I just pinched the wood from it, if I was making another I'd just buy sheets of pine (or ply or whatever).

    I may post some plans on here in due course, once I'd figured the design it was very simple to make - just a jig saw and drill needed (trust me on this 'cos I'm really useless at woodwork!).

    For some reason the rack was near impossible to photograph - either the rack or the background came out looking p!ssed - hence the appearance of the rad pipe which is actually parallel (?)!
