I've been wanting to build a cabinet to conceal my safe so that I'm not screaming "hey I have a big gun safe here" when my garage door is open. I figured some shelves for all of my ammo, accessories, and reloading supplies wouldn't hurt either.
I finally picked up the wood and started building today. Outside is 3/4" birch ply, center divider and shelves are 1/2" birch ply, 1x3 pine footer, 1x2 pine face trim, door will be made of pine 1x6's with 1x3 trim and 6.5" black steel handle. Hutch is 12" deep (half total depth).
Before (minus the moving blankets that usually covered it):
70% done
I have to finish the 1x2 face trim, build the barn style door, and install the hardware. The shells will remain open, the door will only cover the safe. Bottom shelf is big enough to fit 8 50cal cans + 4 30cal cans.
I'm still undecided on the finish. Thinking a light-medium or gray stain. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.
