Man Cave

Ideas on the 2nd floor man cave.

 

I am not going to say who, but with some of the comments I have read here, is the reason why you will never see photos of the inside of my Arms Room.

 

303Tom, I can appreciate and note your concern.

 

This thread has made me extremely jealous but also motivated. We have a computer room where I have my desk and my wife has her huge desk that I made for her. She recently told me that she wants to move her desk and that I can have the entire room and decorate it anyway I wish. God I love her! Now I have to get my butt in gear.

Tom, I would never criticize someone for not wanting to show their war room, however did I miss some negative comments?

There are some awesome rooms in this thread and obviously Charlton Heston's room is mind boggling. A lot of people voted for Rogers room, but I didn't get to see it because the pics were removed. With that being said, UpTheHill and Malamute get my vote because that is my style. When I do my room I think I am going for the guns meet the Adirondacks look. I will have to give a honorable mention to Road Kill for a fanfreakintastic collection.

While not a "man-cave" it more like a man hole....8x12 where i have my reloading gear and some tools ane small work bench.

The house has 4 bedrooms and I told to her pick 2 and I would have 2...she picked the 2 large ones....and the rest of the house would be neutral.

So I have my little man hole that I only have share with no one but her 9 cats....she also got the 2 bedrooms with doors on them.:banghead:

 

I like em, but if you make them to nice you may have unwanted visitors.

 

I can't post photos yet because I'm still building mine. But it will feature a giant bookshelf, cedar-paneled walls, a nice wood stove, a bottle of good rye whiskey, and a minty live Vickers gun.

What it lacks in volume it will make up for in quality. The workshop and reloading room are in their own outbuildings.

 

My humble "Man Cave" includes a variety of stuff that I had stored away. I thought I'd display it in my basement, and get some enjoyment out of looking at it. It's primarily a WWII theme, but I also have fossils, pocket knives, a variety of artifacts and a lot archaeology junk sitting around. Small microwave and frig down there too. Walls are lined with framed WWII newpapers for the most part.

 

I like the God and country theme.

 

I have a home/office which I hang out in at home most of the time. A few pictures and a deer mount. Wife goes crazy at Christmas and wants to decorate every room in the house and I keep her out of there. But to poke fun at her I put two Christmas tree ornaments on the points of the deer mounts rack and a string of electric shotgun shell Christmas lights around it. Drives her crazy...

 

Here's a peek behind my green door;

A few shelves full of shooting goodies;

I have a garage for my cave. 1 jeep, 1 single stage, 1 progressive press, two cabinets+ full o' reloading stuff and enough wood, metal and automotive tools to be a contractor in each discipline.

 

The "Man Cave" (Bat Cave would be appropriate) with the bank vault door in brick is owed by Bruce E. Stern, a Lawyer who was on the Board of Directors for the NRA. Not sure if he still is on the Board but I admire his collection and vault. Bravo sir!

I'm sure Charlton Heston had a nice collection too.

 

I also use a garage for my getaway..one side houses the wife's jeep,chest freezer for nuggets,pizza and ice cream for the grandkids(5 boys)..other side is mine,.5 ft workbench,reloading supplies,ammo,gun safe,air compressor,TV ,hand & power tools, emergency generator and computer..its crowded but cozy..all my sons and grandsons like to hangout here when they visit since they all hunt and they want to see what grandpa has brought them for the upcoming deer season..It is not a lot compared to some,,but I feel kids are the future for the right to keep & bear arms..(RKBA)..

 

I can't understand why you guys need all these guns, I mean why do you need to have "arsenals" in your homes!!

 

Somebody really don`t get it, does someone want to tell em why ?

 

Why does a dog...

 

It's a man thing!

 

My cave

 

I can see this place in a couple of years as my very, personal man cave or a designated gun room (will need a wall and door to make it happen).

You may have missed the wink at the end of my comment. These are fantastic collections and the man caves are even better. No way I will ever have so many pieces that I need to store them in there own room, though my safe is almost full up. My man cave is my workshop, but so full of tools I don't have room for anything else. Need a bigger workshop!
