I live in a low crime area and keep my guns in a reasonably secure room. I also tend to transport my guns a lot. So, I would like to build a gun crate. Something that looks reasonably nice (military theme, cowboy nostalgia theme, etc I don't care) yet remains functional. The idea is to keep it small enough that I can put it in the backseat/large trunk yet large enough to store 4-5 long guns. It should be deep enough so that guns can remain on the top rack while cleaning supplies, ammo, etc can lay on the bottom. Handles on the ends for easy carry. It would also be nice to have it reasonably airtight so I can throw some desiccant in there and not have to worry about rust. I'm guessing a good coat of epoxy on the inside of the wood and some rubber seals on the lid will work for that purpose. Has anyone built or seen something like this before? Anyone know where I could buy a pre-made gun crate that I can modify? If not, I'm going to attempt a build so suggestions are welcome.
