High-End Gun Cabinets and Traditional Woodworking
Gun cabinets seem to be a popular project among woodworkers. Gun owners like to show off their collections. The problem is, most gun cabinets are nothing more than a cabinet with a glass door. That make’s it easy for thieves to “smash and grab” the contents.
Nestled in the heart of an Amish community is a small shop that makes high-end gun cabinets. But these aren’t your standard cabinets. They use an exclusive locking mechanism that makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to steal the guns.
The cabinets are made using traditional woodworking tools, but with a unique power source. The Amish don’t use electricity. So there’s a complete cottage industry in the Amish communities that converts power tools to alternative forms of power.
