So I built a Book/gun case

Are those “prop” books to fill the shelves
No lol Those are very real books, passed down from my father to me…. All of the great books in history along with both a micro and macro encyclopedia set, and 30yrs of world year books.
They are quite fascinating and and full of knowledge! If a man were to just read and study these sets he be a world smarter and much wiser than most college graduates!
 
CZ Diesel: VERY NICE, looks classic, a room a Man could go into, sit down and just admire and think about his accomplishments…be surrounded by some of the things he earned in his life and enjoyed. I’m Not sure how that room is “secured” but would guess you put thought into that as well. I know that I enjoy my collection and would love it to be more visible - but I just don’t trust the security to anything less then a very high quality Safe. And that deprives me of the pleasure you will get looking at yours whenever you pass by. I would need to build a house from scratch to incorporate an internal room like that - combining your beautiful aesthetics while incorporating my security requirements. Hope you have many hours of relaxing enjoyment in that room - it is Well Done !
Hank, your reply nailed it! This is the exact reason why I’m building this library, that and for remembrance of past family and their sacrifices and contributions
 
Well done Mr. Encino - a great way to pay homage to your surname!

CZ: that will always be more then just a room, it is special even before it’s completed. I also built a trophy room in my house and just walking into it make me smile
 
Just great, I have something similar at home but can only display my knives, our laws require any firearm to be in a safe.
 
CZ, I remember the days when a lot of information needed to be read and researched from books and encyclopedias in different areas of focus.

IMHO. Being that they were your fathers makes them as valuable as heirloom firearms.

I wish i would have had sufficient shelves to store mine over the years. Many boxes were filled with books and stored. and then given away, or thrown away, or burned. I still have too many without enough shelf space.

Very nice addition. Sir
 
So it’s been a while since I updated this but here in Colorado Springs with the massive explosion of people moving here it’s dang hard to get any contractor as they are all booked out for up to years out!
Now the room is larger than the pic shows but it’s coming along and I’ll have the opposing wall book cases will be installed hopefully by the end of the month…
Anyway I just got the flooring in! And I love it!!!
Thoughts?

Beautiful Mark
 
Very nice indeed.. :)
 
Very nice work ! Thanx for showing us
 
Nicely done, I am still trying to figure out my storage needs, lots of books that I need to store, the vision part still eludes me though, I can see what I want to do in my head, but getting it onto paper eludes me, your setup is well done. Thank you for sharing it.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
