This past Saturday, I had the lads over for a game of Twilight Imperium. On the way out to pick up some dinner, I noticed a neighbor had a gun cabinet out in front of his house with a "Take Me" sign on it.
Needless to say, one of the stronger lads and I dragged it home. I picked up a can of stain that matcheds the original color, and have cut 4 new shelves.
The case is solid pine - not gonna win any fine furniture competitions, but it is solid - and I will need to get a new piece of glass for one of the doors.
So, for about $50 in supplies, I think I'll have a good looking display case, and a project to keep me busy for the next few days.
