I've had a hankering to make one of those rotating gun racks somewhat like a lazy susan for quite some time now because I think they're a pretty good idea, and have finally gotten a start on it.
In knowing that it wont' be too long off having another child raised and leaving the nest soon, and there has already been some talk between me and my wife when there will be an unused bedroom that we plan to make a storage room, and this little project will save me a lot of space in there.
This will open up space in other rooms and perhaps even enough to make a hallway closet for my wife to keep whatever her heart desires. She's always complaining about not having enough storage as it is, so I'd like to help with that when I can.
As for the "roto rack" as I call it, no way am I going to pay a hundred and a half dollars for a similar design when I can build one myself for a fraction of what they're selling for.
I still don't have the bottom of it routered for the stocks to sit or the top of it shaped to hold the barrels yet, but this should give you an idea of what I have in mind. It will hold 16 rifles in the physical space that I could store half as many. Not that I have that many airsoft or BB guns to fill it up yet.
