book safe part 2
Bpyboy
I couldn't sleep last night, and so went ahead with some of your ideas.
I built a very realistic safe that is perfect for my berretta .22, spare mag,
spare firing pin and about 100 rounds. They are all fitted into form fitting
cutouts so there is nothing rattling around or any thing like that .
So if you ever come to visit, please don't try and read "basic electronics",
ok?
Gunner's idea about inserting a couple of book marks really puts it over the
edge! It just looks like a really boring, really old college text book (which
it used to be!)
note to the wise though: let the Shellac dry COMPLETELY before you put your
pistoli in there. I had a hell of a time getting the shellac off of my gun! I
might think over night on a sunny windowsill would be more than enough.
thanks again for the ideas.

Hence my comments, set aside and let dry...btw..industrial strength
acetone or alcohol works for true shellac

If you are the handy and industrious sort, there are all manner of
things you can build, modify etc.
And example is:

A further note.. If you have one of the new type can openers that remove
the rim and lid of the can from the side, rather than the old style ones
which remove the inside of the lid..it opens up many further
possibilities.... <EG>
Also consider the large volume that a water based paint can of the
gallon size has, when rinsed, allowed to dry with the lid off, then
filled with whatever you desire and then replaced back on the self in
the garage/shop, complete with realistic paint drips and splatters. If
you have a couple of those well spattered paint cans left over from a
painting project, often with only a smidge of paint left, pour the
remainder out in the trash, and let dry out with the lid off. An inch of
sand in the bottom adds realistic weight....
Just a few ideas for those industrious sorts, and I know you are out
there.
DONT put stuff in the fridge, under the mattress or in the master
bedroom. If you have one of the big old ornate headboard units that
waterbeds often come with, other possibilities spring up, if you are a
decent wood craftsman, as well as the baseboards of book cases and a
host of other places.
Put on your " Hunting for empty spaces" mindset, and look around the
homestead. Use the least obvious ones. The ones you had to think hard
about.

I know things are different in the U.S., but over NIGHT on a SUNNY
windowsill?! ;-)
Bpyboy
the windows up, the damn thing might just burst into flames. I know that I got
my hands welded to the steering wheel on the way home from work. (holy crap,
you need to just open a window, walk off for a minute or two) I think the
shellac will do just fine by morning.

Perhaps his window faces a nudist colony with a lot of military
members. Quite often they, and others, are convinced that the sun
shines out of their ass :-)
