A while back I bought a Winchester Ranger 24 gun safe.
But with the lower shelves in there, I could only fit 6 of my rifles in there.
I ended up pulling all of the lower shelves out and building my own rest to organize things a little better
But once I did that, it left me short on shelf storage so I decided to build myself an ammo cabinet. I jumped on craigslist and found an ugly old brown metal cabinet for a reasonable price
The top shelf would work for what I'm doing, but the rifle rest definitely had to go.
It had 4 spot welds that I needed to get off without warping or denting the back of the cabinet.
Bought a sticker off ebay
Picked up some fabric and plywood, 1/2" plywood for the sides and back, and 3/4" for the shelves.
I didn't have a plan for this, just figured it out as I went. Started cutting and wrapping.
It was quite a puzzle to get large pieces in through a small door. I built and inserted one piece at a time, and once I had every piece fabricated, I had to put all the pieces in the cabinet and then build the bottom, then the top, and then the middle lol
And here's the final product
And yes, I wrapped them all the way around...top and bottom
Here's what I was replicating it after
And here's what it was made for
