Hand gun edition |
You know, when we start collecting something, these collection make us to display it so that be able to watch it any time we want. I actually am one of that type of person and tried to display them by any means. When I was little, I used to hang them on the wall by using hooks. But there had been less space to display as the numbers of collection were added. Hooked them on the wall, of course, the dust lay on it and it is not nice to look at. Then, I looked around and dragged a thing out. That thing is ............... the videotape rack. I already put my videotapes into drawer of another plastic made rack and that videotape rack was already disused. That kind of rack has glass doors which make possible to watch and touch the collection. Leaving it for a long time, though, the dust get into inside through a crack and put on. But I know you like it and there are no needs to worry about it with your plenty love toward your collection. Recently, videotape demand are getting decreased and why don't you recycle the things around you, there must be something that can be convert it as your rack. One rack can stand almost 6 guns. |

A necessary thing. the videotape rack/An adhesive/A nail or a wooden screw/A screwdriver/A coping saw/A double-edged saw/A cutter knife/The wood for holding the barrel/The material of the skid/A raising sheet/A wood-tone tape There are materials plenty when I look for a personal unnecessary thing and I am cheap by recycling it and can make it. |

This time I found a raising sheet, the material of the skid prevention
and the concave plastic material which you can see on the photo in the
do-it-yourself store, and then we use these materials. |
procedure |
1.I dismantle a tape rack. (I use a new article this time) | ||
2.To match the position of the gun that you want to set, put the actual thing
and decide the position of the skid preventing material, and then paste it. This time I found the concave material in the do-it-yourself store (\200/m). This is suitable for the roundness of the grip and easy to be fixed. |
||
3.Attach a wood-tone tape on the inner side until a slip stopper is fixed
to the product. Note that, the wood-tone tape is attached on the outer periphery of the product at the last in order to cover screws and nails after assembling the product. First, cut the tape a size larger than the size of the product to be attached, and then press and attach the tape while releasing a coated paper. In the attachment, push out the air bubbles not to be sealed inside. Remove the excess of the tape by cutting with a cutter knife. Preferably, bond the end of the tape with an adhesive because it is easily be peeled off, which can be done later. |
||
4.In the inside of bottom paste a raising sheet as like the A wood-tone
tape. (It is the same to paste the cloth with the glue.) |
||
5.Cut the flute where you can enter the barrel on the wood for holding the
barrel. Cut it with a jigsaw or a double-edged saw. It would be fine to cut the flute at intervals of 20mm in AUTO and 30mm in REV, and of the width of 30mm in AUTO and 20mm in REV. |
||
6.The wood-tone tape is attached, as only the barrel holder seems cheap without any finishing. Cut out the tape at a portion being cut out. Polish grooves finely because the grooves directly abut on the barrel or the like. In my case, due to laziness, I equalized the grooves roughly, and attached a raising sheet for preventing the damage on the grooves. |
||
7.Please assemble it commonly after glue dried. | ||
8.Assemble a wood piece for the barrel holder. Check the position of the
wood piece for the barrel holder and fix it with a nail or a wooden screw
from the lateral side. (Note that, the nail or the like should be selected so that the end of the nail will not stick out from the wood piece for the barrel holder.) |
||
9.Finish with attaching the wood-tone tape on the outer periphery of the
product if desired. |
||
The barrel can be stored if employing a type of the product longer in the
depth as well as the dimension in case of long type REV and long type AUTO. However, the number of storage will be decreased since the revolvers need wider clearances between their cylindrical diameters. |
||
It is a hand gun display state of my home. |
