Building a Gun Cabinet

 

Our grandson Jordan needed to choose a graduation project for his senior year of high school, as well as a mentor to work with him.  Mentors can not be parents, so who better to teach him than grandpa.

 

 

The project began with construction plans and the purchase of lumber.

 

 

He’s ready to begin.

 

 

Jordan cutting plywood to the correct length.

 

 

 

 

Gluing and clamping
