Vyrolan Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 My neighbors give me a hard time because they know I'm usually armed. Isn't that opposite of what should happen? =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Holster, no drawers..... both ways. That is a disturbing image, and is now seared into my brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah, that came off different than intended. This was meant as a "don't trust waist bands" kind of comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbutcher74 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 When I first saw this topic I first thought you were referring to something that had to do with with products like those made by Trojan or something. Another bonus to keeping a weapon in your shop. If you need a quick hole for a dowel or something, a lot quicker than getting out a drill bit.

Rapid Roger Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I thought it was going to be about smoke or burglar alarms or maybe keeping the kids and neighbors out of the shop. Some how, guns and wood working just don't seem to jibe for me. I have a well designed length of broom handle and a few chisels if I need personal protection from bodily harm. If it is just theft, they can have anything I currently own. Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back I had a friend that collected stuff....beer stuff for the most part. He told me I needed to collect stuff. Being kind of weird, I decided to collect old condom tins off of e-bay. Now I have a whole crap load of these things. So I guess I need protection to protect my protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwacker Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I think this is a good excuse to buy more tools. Great excuse to buy a new lathe and just make a baseball bat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Unfortunately due to shop space, fortunately since I don't have them, a lathe and oscillating sander are coming up due to a fellow woodworking friend giving it up. Double edge sword as he's getting too old and sight is going bad. Kinda sad. I plan on using the lathe to make my grandson a set of Lincoln logs from a bunch of figured cherry scraps. Will see how that goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Mark, I've never used a lathe before. By the time I cut enough logs for a set, I'll be as old as Lincoln Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Coop. Why not an electronic codekey pistol safe? The kind with the foam lined inside that pops open, ready to draw. I have several, under various desks and behind side tables in my house and they work great. They'll screw to the side of a leg under your bench. Also, to disagree with a previous response, a pistol is a fine home defense weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 A pistol is a tool to be used by the "home defense weapon". Some of us suck at using one worse than we do at using a hand plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us suck at using one worse than we do at using a hand plane. A pistol is good for home defense. The majority of encounters happen within 4 feet. You shouldn't have to worry much about aiming at that point, and in a situation like that form and stance pretty much go out the window. You're not in a war zone where you're shooting at threats 300+ yards away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid that if there was a bad guy in my shop, he may not want to hang around for me to enter the code I am considering one that recognizes finger prints, but I can't find one that recognizes "shakey" finger prints In the mean time, if I do have a problem person, I'll offer him a beer and a cigar and maybe he'll go away!

Sounds like you need a bench axe or perhaps might I suggest a round mallet with lots of left over nails and screws sticking out of it? Nobody messes with a spiked bat!

Coop Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's not a big concern as I live in a pretty safe neighborhood. I just thought instead of having 6-7 pistols in a gun safe in the house, I might spread them around a bit so I can keep an eye on them! But I want to do it in a way that is safe, even though there are no children around Unless they have a bigger bat, with bigger nails! Or a small pistol with more range than the bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll flip you the name of the one I have. 4-5 digits and it pops open at an angle, ready to to draw. Probably quicker than opening a drawer, and grabbing a firearm that's on its side. Plus, it's safer to keep it cocked and locked in it, than in a drawer.. plus..bad guys trying to steal stuff out of your shop won't find a gun and get more ideas about their visit.
