Backcountry armoire

[Slim Jim]

I just finished building a wall unit in my home and the wife is happy so now I can start on my backcountry armoire!

Here is the wall unit

Here is a rendering of the cabinet when closed. There will be more detail when I build it

Here is the interior with four drawers. It will hold bow and guns on the bigger side and backpacking gear on the other

I know it doesn't look good on paper but it will nice when finished. The wall unit didn't look to pretty on paper either

Looks awsome man, Is woodworking your job or hobbie?

 

[Slim Jim]

Just a hobby and self taught. Learned from reading and Norm from the New Yankee Workshop. I know kinda dorky but i like woodworking. Over the years I've built myself a nice wood shop

Good work! There is nothing like building something! I myself like lodgepole furniture.

For just a "hobby", id say you could take on an apprentice or two! Nice work!

That is Is some nice work there! Are those top cabinets holding your receiver/DVD players and what not?

 

[Justin Crossley]

That is really nice. I really like building cabinets too. I haven't done any that fancy though.

Looks awesome.... Only problem I see is that it only has one Kifaru bag in it.... once the addiction sets in you will have to build more space hahah

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try and top that wall unit with this backcountry armoire. I'm going to build it with walnut and line the inside with cedar T&G. The drawers are going to be box joint and lined with black felt. Then finish with a Danish oil

Looks good on paper to me! Great looking TV stand too!

Thanks Craig, the top holds the cable box and the bottom holds the DVD player so it can be easily accessed

Awesome! and you left room to upgrade the screen size for when the eyes start going bad.

What does your shop look like? I've been looking for ideas on how to set mine up!
