This was a quick and easy solution to a piled up corner and a bonding exercise with my uncle. With most of the money going into the house this will do for now.
I like the look of wood cabinets. I kept one for a few of my collectable firearms after I bought my safe. I have guns staged in certain areas of my house… that’s a lot less secure than a wood cabinet. I suppose a criminal could break in and steal a gun out of a wood cabinet, but at the same time, there are a good number of metal safes in the market that can be broken open with simple hand tools, leverage, and a few minutes.
I like it!
I normally load cabinets with the heaviest stuff on the bottom for stability … just a thought
Psoriatic arthritis in the hips doesn’t make it easy to bend over. Ever see the ad about breaking the chains of arthritis? It’s not a lie. Age has a way of f’ing with you that you never see coming.
Edit: and thanks for the compliment
@William191 This is what I have used for years and am very satisfied, $1.50 at the Dollar Store.
I change them out every 6 months. Cheap and work great.
P.S. Made in U.S.A.
I use damp rid containers from years ago & fill them with 100% calcium chloride ( normal use for snow & ice removal, 20# bag lasts a long time) & before some folks talk about rust, it does not.
I too have a wooden ammo cabinet. I use something just like what @BRUCE26 uses. It works really well. I have a lot of it in ammo cans too with the little desiccant packs inside. Between the two, the ammo looks just great after a year.
It is inside the climate controlled part of the house though.
Haha, the ammo for my 41mag is pretty old and has ever only been kept in a similar cabinet or just in a paper bag on top shelf in a closet. I mean around 20 years old or longer. Will have to go shoot some this summer.
I have a 12x12 room in the basement, cool-dark-dry is the key. I run a large dehumidifier in the room for 4 hours once a month. For really long-term storage I vacuum-seal everything.
Also a side note, I use silica gel (normally used for drying flowers) in any porous fabric or coffee filters for ammo stored in cans.
As long as the top is secured to the wall, all is well
I am beginning to appreciate the joy’s of working around physical limitations
Oohhhh boy, the things I could do with a room that size!
Started my woodworking projects and found that any big mouthed liberal can suck the humidity out of any size room, indefinitely, when properly placed! Metaphorically speaking!
I use that as well, except I keep all of my firearms in steel safes. I just worry to much about a house fire and it affecting my ammo, setting off my ammo in a sympathetic detonation.
Plus, no moths!
Is it Pine or Cedar that spiders love?
Cardboard boxes. Brown recluse spiders.
KY has tons of black widows and brown recluse spiders. I don’t put my hand into any dark place since both like the dark to hide.
One of my kids bedroom once he moved out. The room is all gun related but I reinforced closet with fire resistant board and steel bolted door. This was rather than buy a safe. See some great great ideas here to keep moister out. Try this one The kitty litter blue beads sealed in Coffee filters . Works. Picked it up at Prepsteaders on You Tube
Is that an old tack room for horse stuff. Love it, can think ofall kinds of things to do with the space.
Very nice, I love the classic wood cabinet look.
