I don't use this safe anymore so I've decided to turn it into a an ammo
locker an ammo vault and here's why I'm gonna take some of my more expensive
ammo the nine the two twenty three the forty and I'm gonna lock it up in here
I'm gonna build shelves that's my project for today I'm gonna take this
off the wall I've got it bolted to the wall I'm gonna take it out to my shop
and I'm gonna build shelves in it and bring it back here bolt it back against
the wall and put my more expensive ammo in there because the only thing keeping
people from breaking in here is a flimsy little bolt lock on the hollow core door
so that's today's project and I'll show you how it comes along I just want to
show you one of the best memories I've ever had and isn't that an extremely
handsome couple on the right as a couple years ago and if you don't know what
that is google it we had a blast Oh anyway on to the safe I I got it out
here in my shop the first thing I'm gonna do is try to knock this shelf off
it's got a spot weld here here and a couple on the outside here and I'm gonna
try to knock this shelf off but not at the expense of bending or damaging this
that's gonna come off too and I think that would come off a little easier and
if they don't come off I'm just gonna leave them and build my shelves around
it because I don't want to bend this it's you know kind
flimsy all right I'll show you want to get them out all right let's see if I
can do this without getting it away
all right now I've got this one out let's back to go up a little bit
I've got this one out down here just by wiggling it and rocking it back and
forth and the spot welds broke and I'm gonna try to do this I've got a broke
here and here and now the ones on either end I'm going to try to break them off
doing the same thing just by wave them in the shell back before it that way up
I don't do any damage to it all right got them out I've measured my 40 and my
9 then I can fit four high of each box if I if I make these cells 12 inches
apart from top of one shelf to the bottom of the next shelf so I'm gonna
turn this thing around and make my marks on the outside of the cabinet drill some
holes and you'll see we'll go from there well I found a piece of wood I'm going
to use that's the remember my gun show box well I'm not doing gun shows anymore
so I'm gonna use the lid off of that as the shelves for inside here so I'm gonna
cut the edge off of that and use whatever clip and I'll show you my table
saw in action
right there and I got a 1x4 I'm gonna rip down the middle and then use as the
ledge to ship that set that shelf on I just realized something
it looks like I'm always going to be able to get three shelves in here this
here then close the door it locks behind the edge of this so I have to leave
enough room above and below this so it'll it can swing and why so I'm going
to have to either go below this with a shelf or above it
hello it's too low because I have this lip at the bottom so I don't have to
come above that about an inch and then James I don't know maybe just to show us
I might be the one one here one of them and one below that one because then I
got this top lip here anyway I've got another uh let's see I've got another
one of these up there so I've got two blocks they've got to close so I have to
avoid them with the shelves anyway it looks like I'm just gonna have to wing
this and I have unequal distances between the shelves but that'll be
alright okay I got the shelf brackets put in there now I've got to cut the
shelves out and we're almost there I got a drill a couple of holes in the
back wall so I can reattach this to the wall and my room there where I keep
everything so I'm gonna cut them shelves out and put them in screw them down and
I give you a look at that alright I got chills in I know they don't look level
but they are for some reason on this screen on the camera but don't look low
but I have a along there and there better lovely I'm
gonna drag this inside bolted to the wall load it up
boy did dad open up some room now all I got stored in here is my 22 and some
4/10 that is bolted against the wall ain't ain't going nowhere alrighty thank
you for watching
