Make a Gun Rack

[@CirclesWoodshop]

I grew up in the south and I remember every house having a gun rack. I made one in high school. Your project brought back some memories.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Donald I used a Lacquer Finish with a coat of paste Wax. I wrestled with the decision between the finish I used and A Tung Oil Varnish Finish.. Which was my first choice. I only chose to go with the Lacquer finish due to the time restraint.

[@jimforgrave6365]

one of the best looking designs Ive seen. wow

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Beth

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Thank you John! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

You are very welcome Bob! and Thank you!

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Hey Nick, if you have access to a big box store like Lowe's or Home Depot or even a lumber supply store, you can pick up some select pine or even better some oak boards. This gun rack would look good made from oak, you could do a simple lacquer finish right out of the spray can or even a tung oil finish, these are both available at hardware stores. I have made a few oak gun racks and they looked very nice..

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Thank you. I hope you get a chance to make one. It is a fun project and if you make the templates you can make as many as you would want.. If you do, Id love to see photos.

[@JordsWoodShop]

Cant think of a time I would ever need to make something like this but I really enjoyed the video none the less!

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Thank you Kyle. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@19d3lta9]

Nice looking! I also like how you use up wood laying around and not wasting it!

[@MrForsakenExile]

great job!! Nice to see a FL boy on here. Not too far from my fathers places in Wildwood. He was working on a few gun racks using 2 long cut pieces of cedar.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Nick the Tung oil Varnish brand is Formsby's Tung oil Varnish you can get it in semi gloss / gloss / and I think satin as well... not sure.I always use Gloss availabe at Lowes or home depot in the paint section where the stains and finishes are.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Thank you!!

[@KSFWG]

Great video ! Thanks for taking the time to do this !

[@MsNevadakid]

your cross cut jig on the table is pretty kool! nice job...

[@GarageWoodworks]

Nice job Laney. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Thanks Graeme, In the video I didn't install a drawer stop, but I did add one after so the drawer couldnt be pulled all the way out. truth be known it would have been simpler to install had I done it before I glued and pin nailed the back on..lol

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Happy Thanksgiving Jerry.. I just added the second template to the video description above

[@videoman77365]

where can I find this pattern?

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Well I am happy that I was able to help recall some memories. Hopefully they were all good!

[@MrSkeeter18]

Thank you sir. Nice job. Bob

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Awesome.. yea Wildwood is a stone throw away..

[@Americadodgedabullet]

Its hard to find content like this here i typed in building a gunrack & there are few vids on this

[@snowlothar45]

Should have offset the slots for the guns from side to side, so the firearms would set level.

[@alanouellette]

Hey I just found your channel and I really appreciate you doing this.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

There you go Jerry!

[@DirtyMexican46]

That sounds perfect! I have both lowes and home depot nearby but always thought their selection was mostly just plain white pine type stuff. I'll have to see what they have, Oak sounds like it would be perfect. And I have heard a lot of good things about spray lacquer, or I may just try out a tung oil finish. Thanks!

[@DirtyMexican46]

Hey this is an awesome build. I want to build one of these to give my dad for christmas but I don't have a whole lot of woodworking experience. I don't really have access to nice hardwoods and I am just curious what kind of finish I could use with a not as nice wood to still make it look good? If my first one comes out good then I'll build a second with better wood once I get some.

[@truckrun]

What did you use for a finish on the gun rack? Donald

[@charliethomas8253]

could not find plans for gun rack

[@summerswoodworking]

Great Video Laney! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@spokeman]

Nice Job Laney. Templates too. Thanks. ** Happy Thanksgiving 2015 ** The video keeps on giving...year after year

[@bogsdolics]

Hey you shot a good video , did you fit a drawer stop? I seen a design that had a dowel fitted from the top down into the drawer space that caught the back of the drawer as it was pulled out, Graeme

[@Brett1300]

Have u made a fishing rod rack? I think that would be a good project for you.

[@37skiing]

Great video! Im going to start one of my own tomorrow. On question though.. What's the thickness of the side boards and top and bottom boards?

[@1954BJohn]

Nice project Laney ! Happy Thanksgiving !!

[@WiltsWoodCrafts]

good video

[@PotatoGunsRule]

Is it better to stain and finish before assembly or after?

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

My hardwood Dealer is closed until after Thanksgiving, so I had to do with what I had. And sometimes, some great things come out of what you have laying around the shop.. If you have it might as well use it...right? :O)

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Hey guys just added a link to the Top and bottom Rail Template in the video description

[@dmo848]

Mine looks nothing like yours but I did it. Just have to stain the wood. I used left over pine

[@rm33321]

Why are the sides a different shade, stain or wood type. Design is good , finish not so much.

[@treborice]

[@LaneyShaughnessy]
