A different place to stash your guns.

Geez. You guys are hard to please! (most of the first 12 posts anyway)

I think if most people saw the model in person and how heavy duty its made, they would change their minds. Plus this is a model, my brother said it cost $175 for all the hardware to make what you see. Then paying for labor and any minor changes that you want to the design.

I can see a price tag of $1,500-2000 if a contractor did it, if you can handle the work it would just be parts cost. If you live near Salem OR and would like a quote... PM me.

Very nice. I have no interior stairs tho.

I've seen that done before, but not in person...

I have seen stairs that had drawers that pulled out, from under the treads... That one has even been on the This Old House show, many years ago...

Very nice!

I've a brother that did something very similar, only his hidey-hole was smaller and intended for a small lockbox with emergency money, a handgun, and ammunition.

No squeeks, loose boards, or anything which said the stairs were anything other than solid stairs.

If I ever get around to building it, I'll post some pics of an Oak console I designed for my car...complete with hidden lockable compartment.

Sweeping a house with metal detector?

Lordy, lordy, lordy...

That's easy enough problem to solve. Just line the entire staircase with foil. While you are at it line all your floors with foil under the carpet.

Great idea! That looks like it's a demo mockup at some kind of trade show or home show?
