Gun Rack from a 2x4

[@JayBates]

Heck of a project for 3 bucks! Very cool man.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching and Sharing Jay !!!

[@LastSon74]

Nice rack! I'm still blown away by the great ideas coming from the humble 2x4 and great woodburning from your son too! Its great when your kids want to get involved, my 12 year old daughter loves to make her own little projects with me ( I'm a D.A.D.D. too!) great video Sterling.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks again, the beds you are making are AWESOME, cant wait to see the finished product, Amazing work, you brought back to memory a Batman Coat hanger I had when I was a kid, I am going to try that soon, Thanks for the idea, and for watching and sharing

[@LastSon74]

Thank you too! I'm really glad you like what I'm doing thats just the thing I'm trying to do - give my kids and others memories of cool stuff growing up.

[@BobHaws2]

The wood-burning is a nice touch! I like this alot!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching !!! Austin did I thought too, Appreciate it.

[@rhwoodshop]

Great job Sterling. Your son did a fantastic job on the plaque. I really liked the hat tip to Jay with the glue up watching. Lighting a cig like a boss!!!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

lol, Felt bad at first for stealing his idea, but I remember what Steve Ramsey said when he was asked where he gets his ideas, he said " I steal them from other Woodworkers" lol, so I figured it was ok < Thanks So Much for watching and sharing, can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve

[@JayBates]

***** Ha! Totally ok. Nice lighter!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Jay Bates I Appreciate that Jay and for you just taking the time to watch my video, means a lot, I hope to learn more from you guys that actually know what they are doing, I appreciate your videos, Great Learning tools

[@OLd_One-eyeguy]

The comedy pause for dry time earned you a sub.....

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for the follow , appreciate the views too, these are pretty old lol

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Bravo my friend! This rack reminds me so much of my Dad! My Dad at some time in the past tried his hand at woodworking and used a lot of pine wood to do some projects. One of those projects was a gun cabinet and parts of your project just flat out remind of his cabinet. :) I think it turned out very nice! Nice seeing your son get in on the act too! You are right you could not buy a gun rack for $3!! I love how it came from one 2x4!! Regards! Chris

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks So Much for watching, It was a lot of fun, I know what you mean too, My Grandfather did a little woodworking, and my uncles as well, the rack was patterned by a version of one of his old racks, He was in the Navy and Retired as Caption of the Gastonia Police Dept. Miss him Dearly, Thanks Again Chris

[@alfredchampagne8555]

great project plus a great idea for 3 dollars.that's thinking out of the box. nice woodburning by your boy. Must run in the family.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks Alfred, its fun working together and just hangin out, appreciate you stopping by and watching

[@joecamel2236]

Wow, great job. Hard to believe that's all from a 2×4 after seeing it all done. Gave me some ideas

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Awesome, thanks for watching, and feel free to share your work on my other social medias

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Excellent work, Sterling. Nice design too. You and all the other contestants are really going to make it difficult on the judges this year - not to mention all of us woodworkers. Seriously. If you were to take all of the contest entries from this year alone and put them all on one playlist, you'd easily have a year's worth of projects. This is just me talking here, but I'm seeing a few Christmas gift ideas, too.

[@Fykjo]

great video.. it helps to have the right tools for the job.. thumbs up from Denmark

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for checking it out

[@72pinebarron]

A to Z. Great job. Great video. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much for watching

[@jayt838]

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

😂 thanks so much I appreciate it hope to post more often, this was a oldie, but goodie had fun with the 2 x 4 contest, need more of that now

[@ronsaenz9033]

Love your work, man. Excellent work with the gun rack!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching, just having fun making stuff, appreciate your support

[@ManhattanWoodProject]

That's a great looking gun rack, wonderful job. Nice plaque too, great woodburning job on it.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watch, I think so too, Austin worked hard on that

[@sithinstructor]

Cool project. Can't beat that for 3 bucks. This is going on my list to make.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Cool, would love to see it when its done, Thanks for the view and share

[@charlesmurray1220]

Not a smoker but the cigarette and torch cracked me up. Thanks for the laugh!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

lol, Thanks for checking it out, I quit smoking, but glad you got a laugh, it was an inside joke lol

[@charlesmurray1220]

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

+steven reno Thanks for checking it out Steven

[@RenoScruggs]

My pleasure again

[@bryanp1969]

sweet idea man who would have thunk you could make a gun rack with just one 2x4!!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching, My first attempt failed, was going for 4 guns, but had to cut it back to 3, 4 would work without the shelf, but wanted that too, so I went with 3. Thanks again

[@bryanp1969]

***** your welcome keep posting these creative projects

[@westernsharpie]

I smashed the like button when you lit the smoke

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Lol, Greatly appreciated this is a lot of fun with the challenge, we gotta laugh more

[@davidagney6676]

Sterling I really like the plaque in the background at the end. Never Forgotten!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks David, Appreciate the kind words and support by watching and sharing, all the best

[@rivera_civic]

Sterling, That is one hek of a gun rack! I really really REALLY like it! What great work to show off your 3 pieces :-P

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching Ed, and watch close, Snuck my Snub Nosie Feather Light 38 Special on the top shelf lol, but that usually stays in my pocket, not the Gun Rack , Appreciate you taking time to watch

[@rivera_civic]

***** I honestly thought while you were waiting for glue to dry, you were going to clean a gun or something like that lol.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

That would of been awesome too lol, wish I would of thought of that

[@billofalltrades1468]

Awesome build! I'm looking to make one!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Go for it! would love to see it, all the best

[@john73738]

Nice project. A gun rack was my first project when I was a teenager in wood shop. Gotta +1 the great lighter also.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks For watching, Shop Class Help a lot of people and was more to me than just wood, Hate schools have cut this out, and Trying to get Bic to introduce the lighter to the public, seems to be some Safety Concerns lol, Thanks Again

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

Very nice job! And great video editing, too!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thank You, and Thanks for watching and Sharing !!!!

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Nice free handing my friend. If I tried that it would look like a backwards upside down poodle!LOL GOOD JOB!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

lol, Thanks for checking it out, I am sure yours would come out just fine, dont under estimate yourself , appreciate the kind words

[@jimcoogan1529]

Excellent video.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching !!!

[@BadlandsWoodNStuff]

Great entry, I'm sitting here looking at the rifles that need a place to hang and I think I'm gonna build one similar to yours. Makes a nice display, thanks for the idea!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching and sharing, I am going to make another on with better wood, and wood joints with kreg jig v/s screws exposed, but I think it turned out ok , and not bad from a 2x4 lol, Thanks Again

[@ScottMiller-n4j]

Nice job Sterling!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@flatpicker1234]

Gun rack was great but the bluegrass was awesome!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Nothin like a rocking chair, a banjo, and Cold Drink, thanks for watching my friend

[@nicolamontoro]

That came out great!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much for watching

[@richhandler2621]

Great gunrack!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching !!! I appreciate that !

[@SuperYtviewer]

Nice job with simple wood, simple techniques, and a great result. I even enjoyed the watching the glue dry, but would have preferred no cigarette. (Your choice to smoke not my choice to prevent it.) The sign by your son was the icing on the cake.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching, The Cigarette was an inside joke for one of the Trash Talkers lol, I appreciate you kind words

[@ippolitofred]

Super nice job. I appreciate your talents and skills. Thanks.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Frederick Ippolito Thank You for the view and sharing, Greatly Appreciated !!!

[@harizhadi5418]

Nice done!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching !!!!

[@ssgvern]

Nice gun rack! I see a project in my near future.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Very Cool, Feel free to share it, would love to see what you come up with, Thanks for the view and share

[@mathewgodfrey1517]

I’m looking at getting an M1 Garand within a few weeks. I think this might be an awesome gun rack to hang up on my wall in my living room to display it.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Sweet, Thanks so much for watching

[@nsuddeth91]

Thanks for the video, the finished piece looks great! Great project for us KZbin viewers! Might I recommend getting a riving knife put on your table saw. I have personally experienced what happens when a table saw blade kicks a board, and if my thumb could talk it would beg you to add the knife!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much, I appreciate the tip, I was new back then to woodworking, and have learned that lesson , Thanks for looking out, and hope you can see my progression as the years go on my channel, All the best

[@rickd2391]

wow great job looks great

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

+Ricky D Thanks for checking it out !!!

[@NoName-pk8sx]

Well done, that’s impressive

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much for watching

[@michaelandersen5453]

great job

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching and sharing, it was a lot of fun

[@woodturningjohn]

Great job, nice looking rack. It is true, all the cool ideas that have come from this contest, watching others and just working with the 2x4 once cut up there is not much you can not make with a simple/cheap piece of wood. Best of luck in contest, just not too much if you know what I mean LOL me first me first.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

lol, Thanks for watching, winning the contest would be luck, but the joy of what I got out of my 2x4 , I already won, Thanks Again

[@woodturningjohn]

***** Very true, I have had fun making my project and when finished it gets shipped off to my mother because she thought something like this would be nice, so it worked out great. I had fun, got to enter a contest and made a gift all at the same time.

[@NotJustSawdust]

Great looking piece of furniture! If you would put it in an antiques or furniture shop over here in Europe, people would wonder what it would be. It looks a very original piece, could be old, could be new, maybe it's to put up pizza slides, maybe for old wooden stirring spoons, people could go on guessing. We just leave the gun owning to the military and police with an exception for the hunting rifles, but they can only be stored in special cabinets. Sport shooters do leave there gun at the valve of a club.... when ever seeing someone with a rifle, you know there's something terribly wrong... Anyway, gun related items are rare over here. Nevertheless, You made a beautiful piece of classic furniture out of that 2x4!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks For watching, Grew up hunting in the back woods, Shot Guns were a must have lol. Thanks for the kind comments

[@RickMcQuay]

Great job on the video, good stuff!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much for watching !!!

[@Brett235]

Very nice!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching

[@skyking4501]

Good rack!! Every video that i watch on building a gun rack have the firearms laying breach up. I’ve never put my weapons in a rack like that. Always trigger up/beach down. Guess it’s just preference.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Seen him down both ways really didn’t have a preference that’s just how it turned out, more of the challenge of making it from a 2 x 4

[@genarogamez8494]

1:53 🤣 love it!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much

[@kaboom989]

This looks fantastic!!! Good work....I would love to have all the wood tools...

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much, Appreciate you watching and sharing and the kind words, just start small and work your way up, most of my tools are old or hand me downs, but I am happy with them, and am trying to save to improve

[@ChopNHack]

Well done to you both :-)

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching !!!

[@Jlavoice]

Watching glue dry! lol That's me too!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

lol, thanks for checking it out Jeff , this one was all in fun

[@jaceks88]

Great video

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Glad you enjoyed it, all the best

[@charlesmurray1220]

And nice gun rack. I will off-set the barrel side an inch or two up to have my rifles sit level. But great idea nonetheless!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

I pride myself in making sure i comment to each person that took the time to comment, but for some reason, when i switched computers, it said i did not respond to your comment, for that I apologize , Thanks for watching and your support

[@Esportivo_SBC]

Like.... Very good!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for checking it out Tiro !

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Lemme see: Woodworking? Check Gun Rack? Check Propane torch lighter! Dude, don't mess with Sterling!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

I am really a big teddy bear, unless you threaten to burn down my house or something Bahahahahaha, jk Thanks For Watching, Good Luck with yours as well, Some pretty cool stuff being made with a 2x4

[@usernamemykel]

Nice job! How would you make a "V block" for use with a bandsaw, when there is no table saw to angle-cut the wood?

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks so much, and I am not sure what the question is, i do apologize for not understanding

[@usernamemykel]

I want to be able to cut a 2"x2"x12", lengthwise, diagonally, to produce two 12" long triangularly shaped pieces of wood. I understand that one would need a "V block" as a sled to carry the stock towards my bandsaw blade, which would then saw the stock diagonally down the middle. All the "V blocks " that I've seen made on YT are made with a table saw, having the blade at an angle. So, what are my alternatives to the table saw? Thank you.

[@geico1975]

Amazing!

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks!

[@MichaelOlsen-Engineer]

*****, I can't tell wich is more impressive. Your honest and well deserved pride in makeing something handsome, artistic and useful, or a father raising a son that has such strong respect and pride in his Dad. In your case they are the same thing. By the way, the gun rack is also a thing of beauty.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thank You for the Kind Words, I am Humbled, and am proud of both my Son and Wonderful Daughter, God Has Blessed my and I feel so unworthy , Thanks for watching and sharing

[@angelopcs]

Great video, could be better if we got a closer look at the pinups behind you

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

i will try to do better lol thanks for watching

[@dominicbanowetz3066]

What size screws did you use to mount this gun rack? And how many did you use? My grandpa just made one for me and I love it, but it is very heavy, don’t want to take any chances on it falling.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

I made this for someone else and really not sure what size screws he used, i would assume 4 3 inch screws would work fine to hold the weight of the guns as long as you have them in the studs

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

I made this for someone else and really not sure what size screws he used, i would assume 4 3 inch screws would work fine to hold the weight of the guns as long as you have them in the studs

[@dominicbanowetz3066]

Sterling Davis ok, thank you, i decided to go with 2 lag screws, and 2 2 inch screws to hold at the bottom, just because I put a 30/30, a 22 and a 20 gauge on it. It also has an ammo shelf, so that is quite a bit of extra weight.

[@jeffreygraham4058]

I like it I think I just might build me one

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

thanks for checking it out, would love to see you take on it, feel free to share on my other social medias

[@jeffreygraham4058]

How long was the 2x4 that you started with?

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Jeffrey Graham It was an 8 foot 2 x 4

[@jeffreygraham4058]

Ok awesome thanks

[@bige9055]

Had to look at the comments when you said $3.00 for a 2x4. They are more than that now for sure.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

That was a long time ago, not nowadays

[@johnzzhu]

Only thing better would be a gun rack on top of it. Great entry.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Thanks for watching and Sharing !!!

[@michaelmckenna1372]

What do shave the 2 by 4 down to(what inch) with the table saw

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

I think it was a 1/4 inch I re-sawed the 2x4 down to, its been a long time on this one and can;t really remember, but 1/4 seems right

[@misterx8592]

$3 for the wood. But thousands for the wood working tools.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

That’s how it works out sometimes lol

[@MidGAOutdoor]

what would it take for you to do me a template for the gun holder part? ive been searching all over and cant find one? it would be very appreciated. enjoyed this video and all the others ive watched

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

MidGAOutdoor I would love to be able to make templates but I honest don't know how, I used on old gun rack to trace out the outline, and free handed it to fit my guns, I am sorry i am no help, but if you can find an old rack at a yard sale or flea market, that would work for a great template, Thanks for watch and share

[@MidGAOutdoor]

guess ill have to disassemble the cheap one I have to trace the parts. thanks
