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.

[@jimforgrave6365]

one of the best looking designs Ive seen. wow

[@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.

Make a Gun Rack! This Weeks Project from A Simple Design of Ocala.. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@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]

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

[@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..

[@JordsWoodShop]

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

[@19d3lta9]

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

[@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.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

You are very welcome Bob! and Thank you!

[@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]

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 to you and Beth

[@KSFWG]

[@MsNevadakid]

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

[@MrSkeeter18]

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Thank you Kyle. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@losingfreedomisnofunFJB]

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]

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

[@spokeman]

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

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

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

[@summerswoodworking]

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

[@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!

[@1954BJohn]

Nice project Laney ! Happy Thanksgiving !!

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Thank you!!

[@videoman77365]

where can I find this pattern?

[@Brett1300]

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

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

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

[@GarageWoodworks]

Nice job Laney. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@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.

[@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?

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

No But that would be a good project for sure...!! I love fishing! :O)

[@truckrun]

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

[@rm33321]

send me that gun rack!!!! haha outstanding work my friend. Have you ever have tooled leather i believe you would be good at it as well. Once again amazing craftsmanship keep the videos coming!!!!!!!

[@WiltsWoodCrafts]

good video

[@charliethomas8253]

could not find plans for gun rack

[@TheRevering]

Good brother.

[@dmo848]

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

[@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)

[@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

[@MrGeroth]

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

[@PotatoGunsRule]

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

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

The Revering.. I don't own any rifles, only handguns..

[@a71ea]

Hi it's nice work but what is the size (Dimensions ) of the gun rack

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Ah I doubt that Norbury... You would do well I am sure :O)

[@treborice]

[@TheAllrightMrMan]

A gun rack? A gun rack, I dont even own ah gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. what am i gonna do with a gun rack? haha had to.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]
