"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Saw these at a gun show last year. They were nice but very expensive. Had some sort of magnetic locking arrangement, The smaller one was just for hand guns
Google LedgeLokr and be ready to spit when you see the price. I had figured maybe $300, not even close. For the guy who buys his 1911's from Wilson Combat. Very nice but pricey.
If you own a compound miter saw and a good blade you can turn these out for peanuts. Get a few picture frame clamps and an air finish nailer and you're in business. $2K worth of tools will set you up a professional shop. You buy all the molding at Home Depot and it's just chop chop and a glue up.
If people will pay $500 and up ... damn. Design one, then learn how to turn them out in bulk. A perfect sub-rosa income.
I'd make them with secret dowel pin locks. I'd also make another model with a sliding drawer and a powerful magnet. Push-pop and a drawer slides out with a 1911 hidden underneath. Custom build them into furniture and the mantelpiece. Shit, with the same skills and tools you can go into the custom mantelpiece business too.
The same idea on it's side becomes picture frames or a wall clock. Learn to make good cuts and you build this kind of thing into books, etc.
I *like* it!
ReplyDeleteShorter shelf probably holds the ammo.
ReplyDeleteI want one. Hell, I want two. Where can I get the design, or the shelf?
ReplyDeletejd
Maybe I'll build you one ...

ReplyDeleteCute, but you can't beat fragmentation floor tiles for home defense.
ReplyDeletemade with surplus claymores right
