Built a hidden compartment to store the firearms.

I need something like that... I have 3 rifles and 2 handguns that I will need a spot for, readily accessible yet not obvious.

This view is actually the backside. The rifles and handguns hang on the wall and this slides out revealing them, ammo shelves and some other prepper goodies like gas masks and stuff. Once it's all covered in pallet wood and I install the magnetic lock it will virtually indistinguishable.

I just sold my house, but we built a hidden room behind a bookshelf that swiveled out. Wish I would have taken some pictures, nothing like a 20ft wall completely filled with AR15's

Ive been thinking about this from day one. I had though about the space between the front destination sign and that metal door they have to access it. I'm not sure where to put rounds though? I buy them in bulk at 1000 or 5000 at a time they take up a good space. maybe extend that over head sheet metal out for them as well. Maybe the metal is good shielding so no one can see them at illegal identity check points that there putting up all over the country. I'm sure there going to have ex-ray if not now some time. Like going across the border.

sounds like you need a floor safe. They make all sizes and they can be welded in place and covered with flooring or whatever, they can even be fire rated. Great place for ammo and stuff.

Pretty sure they all have X-ray machines now. I live in Austin and when I travel around South Texas, they're at every checkpoint.

That's my biggest fear honestly, is forgetting to remove them when I'm going somewhere that isn't firearm friendly. Luckily, I don't really plan on driving through any of the communist states *cough* Illinois, California, NY *cough*

Its not secret anymore ;) This is looking awesome. I love the planks on the wall. I would put some faux nail heads on those planks that separate.. Afterall, its the details that count, right? Ill be following this build. Keep it up!

I wish I had the knowhow to do that. Wouldn't want to share a build plan for us, after the game, would you? ( insert all the little dancing dealies here)

Ordered my undermount stainless sink today. Also, working on getting insurance so I can drive it around a bit. AIS is supposed to call me back tomorrow, an underwriter has to approve it.

2700k 5" diameter (1" ultrathin) led can lights came in. They're dimmable which is nice, first set I ordered weren't and it was just too bright to such a low ceiling. Going to get a dimmer switch tomorrow and wire them up.

AR15 rifle display mounts will be here tomorrow

Started building the hidden compartment next to my rifle storage. Ran out of pallet wood and it was raining so I called it a day. I'll probably put the breaker panel in here.

Edit : I've since gone in and shaved some of the areas so the sliding compartment moves freely. Wood was swelling causing it to stick a bit. It's on soft close 22" ball bearing drawer sliders, but it has some movement due to the 3 piece design of the track. Unfortunately I couldn't take that play out, so I'm hoping to counter balance it with some weight on the inside lower corner.

Fantastic! Those semi secret compartments are sexy. We've been looking at putting similar things in when we get to that stage. And great deal on the bus by the way.

Debt free is the only way to go. Congrats! [emoji122]
