So do you go in there and masturbate while you look at all your precious, precious guns?
In that case, beanbag chair, bottle of lotion, and box of kleenex ought to cover it.

condoms = less clean up time
Can you trigger it to open from a hidden switch?

Damnit, I knew my beer was going somewhere....
I still would put a TV in there...perhaps a LED tv that could swing out from the wall.
If it were my room to design, I would take out the chair, add in a sit/stand workbench with a stool.
Perhaps one designed to fit in with your paneling. That way you still have a place to sit in there but it's also practical for cleaning/maintenance.
I would still put a TV/monitor in this case...but now on the bench wall...

That's just creepy. Reminds me of that 80's flick, "Real Genius."
I have a whole separate room/area for realoading and maintenance of saint's minions. This is for security/storage and evidently masturbatory purposes.

Food and beer was disappearing from my girlfriend's fridge. She assumed her teenage son was sneaking the beer and eating the food.
Turns out, the guy living in the basement of the unrented house next door was taking it. :o

Yikes! Good way to get shot in some parts of this country.
Dude, I lost it on that smurf pic.
:laugh2:
Didn't even know you could own smurfs in Canada. Didn't Michael Moore hand them out at the border once?
Yeah I think I'm going to try and avoid the cabinet on the ground. I picked up 2 extra heavy duty hinges, so there will be a total of 4 on the shelf, and 12 -6" screws through the doorframe. The only trick will be making it not "float" in the air.
I couldn't care about the guns, but the caster will eventually leave a mark on the floor where it travels, which could lead a smrt person to discover said vault.

Can someone give me a link to contact Saint? ;)

Those Canadian restrictions are chilling. I suppose the weather up there weeds out the most depraved riff raff, though.

Couldn't you solve this by having the door open into the room?

Man... some of those hidden rooms are cool... but try explaining one of those hidden playrooms to a firefighter. The firefighter might punch you in the head.
Gotta be a first- topic gets moved to 'PNR', then back to 'everything else' :duckhunt
The steel door opens into the room, and I don't want to make a bookcase out of the door (hard to hide the locks).

You can hide the locks behind a hollowed out book. That being said making the door out of a bookcase could prove to be a pain in the buns.

Okay, anyone have ideas for mounting saint's minions to the wall? I have a felt-covered saint's minion wall, but need a way to mount saint's minions that looks good. I have a bunch of rare earth magnets with cup mounts that are great for holding up a lot of weight, but most saint's minions aren't made of metal anymore. So any ideas past pegboard for a mount? So far I'm thinking long wood dowels with a double-threaded screw in one end, but something a little cooler might be cool, just looking for ideas. I could even weld something up but it might not be 'polished' enough to look good.

I would just drill a hole for each of the two points that you wanted to bear the minion weight. and tap a dowel stained with the same color as your paneling in there.

I am no expert on saint's minions, but if they were automatic, wouldn't holding them up with rare earth magnets make them more likely to jam?

Full automatic saint's minions are prohibited here. Thinking of how they are put together, I don't think any of the semiauto saint's minions I have would be affected by magnets. Plus, the magnets don't stay on the saint's minion, they stay on the wall.

I figured the magnets would be on the walls! I guess what I am getting at is that 1) residual magnetism left behind in the moving metal parts would increase friction and B) residual magnetism left behind in the moving parts would hold any minute bits of metal in place that would normally not hang around for too long. I've never owned any minions myself. So I am probably just talking out of my arse ;D

If there residual, it would likely be overpowered by the 10,000 foot pounds of pressure :)

Slingshots and air guns always scratched the itch for me. I've learned that slingshot ability is inversely proportional to gainful employment, so when you find yourself nailing difficult shots too frequently you know you need to reconsider your direction in life. For me, it was a, "well, ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, guess I should go to grad school after all" moment one afternoon.
Why do you have to store guns in a locked room in Canada?
A HS friend of mine was murdered down there not too long ago. Don't know what ever happened to his case.
I'm building a control panel with an arduino and some switches and LEDs to control the mood lighting.

That is so cool, in a Canadian-hide my guns- kinda way.
Here's where I live....no hiding guns here:

Yeah, that will never happen here. Not enough liberal scumbags to make that happen. What they're doing here is the Gub'ment is buying up all the ammo so there's nothing to shoot. Frickin' liberals.

Good work Zakk, very classy and cozy looking (maybe you can put a cot in there and snuggle up with your AR and a good book :laugh:). Is the book case portion locked too, or just the door to the room? Probably wouldn't hurt to hide some kind of gate latch on top so it doesn't swing open when someone grabs the Atari out.
The door is getting 2x deadbolts, hinge bolts and has an alarm on it. Inside there is going to be a motion detecting camera hooked up to the net. :) Plus there's 2 huge german shepherds that sleep in front of it.

I'm going to make up a pin lock system for the bookcase, right now it's held with 2 1" rare earth magnets so it is held against the wall pretty good, but I def want it on there solid. I was thinking a cotter pin or hinge pin through a couple of pieces of metal I'll fabricate.

Which, btw, came out really well. Fun project!
Oh, and this is cool....Digital Extremes (the guys who made UT), had us out to record us shooting for sound effects for WARFRAME. Supposedly they have video of our whole group out shooting, they set up an actual recording studio at the range, that was fun. So there you go, only good things happen when you build a little fort. :)

Nice, I just went out to the bush and recorded a bunch of gun sounds for a project of mine. The whole day was a success.
You damn Canadians and your laws....
...oh wait. I live in BC. I think the law depends on whereabouts you live, and who is around to care. Where we went, there's nobody around to care. We had a few rifles and shotguns. Nothing too crazy. But good times anyways.
...and who is around to care.
That right there is the key. Boat far enough and nobody would know if you built a full scale wooden navy and held authentic marine battles.

There are a LOT of isolated inland bodies of water in Canada. Those are the places you'd want to do something like above. There is no fresh water Coast Guard.
Where the heck is that? In NS you can camp out on an tiny island for a two weeks and not see another person. There was a lake where I grew up that if you were on it, and saw another person, you'd be thinking"who the hell is THAT guy" for days.
I'm talking outside of the "within 100 miles of the US border" part of Canada.
Too bad I never got into more trouble than poaching lobsters, I suppose.

Okay so I'm making this here hidden room thing, it's actually a 'gun vault' (a requisite for easy storage of firearms in Canada). Anyway, I've got it tucked away, and thinking of hiding the entrance behind a bookcase (basic ply construction, 5 shelves, on a hinge in front of the door opening, likely a caster on the bottom for weight). Any tips on a) construction of the swinging bookcase, and b) cool add-ons in the gun room?
Room will feature LED lighting (backlit on the most interesting guns), a motion sensing camera, a control panel (for lights), in-wall first aid kit (you never know what can happen). But it's small (6'x7') so it's not like I can get a TV in there :)
Any ideas for cool 'wow' items I can install? Walls are either concrete or a mix of wood, rebar, binder twine and concrete board. The actual door is a steel exterior door (with reinforced steel around the deadbolts).
Ok so here it goes. I would enclose the guns in some character. What I mean by that is, instead of just having a gun on a wall, perhaps add some color to it, a rich maroon or dark forest green, to give it that estate look. In terms of doors, here is a great article on how to build a bookcase door.

Dont worry about putting a chair in there, unless you want to make the room bigger and make it a man cave, in that case add some scotch and a cigar humidor for some more character building, just make sure to have a proper ventilation system..lol
This is where I'm at in designing. So far the room is built and the birch plywood is up (not stained). Not sure what the back wall is going to be made of, I'm not sold on the brick, might be too dungeon-y. Apologies to those that are anti-gun ;)
