I still need to make the drawer handles, probably from coiled copper
tubing.

For demo, the only guns at the camp are a pellet rifle and a BB gun.

I filled some of the holes in the "desktop" with the hand cut nails I
pulled from the old lumber.

I didn't have full extension drawer slides and I'm not crazy about the
ones I had/used. If we have problems with the drawers, I'll change the
slides.

The shelves are easily removed. When I'm dead and gone, this cabinet may
end up with someone who doesn't want it as a gun cabinet, so I made
shelves, should someone want to use it as a China-type cabinet.

This was a fun project and I liked the idea of using old hand hewn
lumber.... kinna had to improvise the mating of almost all sections, since
there were no straight edges. For the panel assemblies, I did joint the
mating edges, though.

Looks nice, like it has been there a hundred years or more. I remember gun
cabinets. I have not seen them in awhile. Politically incorrect and all
that. But that is OK. It looks good and can be repurposed at a later time.
And you planned for its conversion into polite company.

I see gun cabinets for sale regularly, though not as many as I do gun
safes. Perhaps it's a reflection of the value of guns, these days.
