Chicago Ken Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I finished building my Guncart and am pretty darn happy with it. I took allot of folks advise on the matter. Build it light and easy to take apart if I ever downsize. Since I am a woodworker I had to use those skills such as they are. But I am happy with the results. I'm showing you mine, lets see yours. Ideally designed and built by you. The wood is Canary wood. Has a real rustic look to it. Also I employeed the KISS principal. The wheels and tires are from harbor frieght and are semi solid non pnematic. Basically they are solid with a hollow core, so they have a little give to them but won't go flat.

Griff Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Balloon tires = check nice finish = check easy to break down = check light = check (appears so) shade = check dovetail joinery = double check! But, since I neither designed, nor built mine... I don't feel obligated to show ya. I love mine... it was a gift, built by the 1st guy to bring a gun cart on the range... whom I admired, respected... and hated... but someone was going to do it... And every time I use it I'm reminded of him, and the fine folks that started OWSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Your beautiful cart motivated me to finally sign up just so I could tell you how awesome I think your cart came out. I just built one out of scrap materials and it's ok...now I think I need to build another and steal some of your ideas Great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil dogooder Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Since you don't want to turn this to a Ugly cart contest i won't post pics of my current cart. But i have a new one in the works that has walnut and cherry inlays that is coming along nicely. When it's done I'll post a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 My son and I built this one 11 years ago to earn him a cub scout badge. Originally the rack part mounted in the back of a red wagon. I added the wheel base a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ken - I like your cart, one suggestion though, carry extra fasteners in your cart box, they seem to find a way to escape never to be found again. Here is one I made a couple years ago for some friends, a couple that most always shoots together It is a modified Rolan Craps design, but the swiveling drink and shotgun caddy in the handle bars is a Grizz original. Here is my cart I built when I started and still use, based off someone else plans as well modified to fit the wood I had on hand and what I wanted at the time. I've since added a swiveling drink and shotgun shell caddy to it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Here's what we got started with. Passed it along "free to good home" at the last Land Run. I didn't even have my swap meet goodies unpacked before it had been carted (pun intended) off. Just a modified stroller, but it worked great. Only down side was that it wouldn't fold up after all the mods. still not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Douglas Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 My folding gun cart. I have since added some removable cross bracing on the up rights to make it sturdier and larger diameter non-pneumatic wheels and tires. I love this. I've been planning building a cart around the space requirements of my TJ. I might have to rethink what I was planning and go closer to this cart. I had never considered a tri-fold setup.

Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've lost count of how many I've designed and build. But my Steampunk Gun Cart is my latest favorite. Built out of Walnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 All this talk about gun carts has me making a new one for me and Bea Itchin'. Currently we each have a 4 gun cart (see my "Steampunk" cart above). But when we travel, keeping up with two carts can be a hassle, so I'm building one, 6 gun cart just for travel. This will be a wider version of my RoughRider cart with some of my later adds such as Rare Earth magnet gun holders, rear key box and a new pistol storage system I'm thinking about. It will be like the one on the left in this picture. Pictures to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Ken Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Rare Earth magnet gun holders Now that's brilliant! wish I had installed those in my gun rack. Funny thing is I was thinking about using them to hold my box lid down but it never occured to me that the magnets would hold up the guns..

Yul Lose Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The wheels that I use are from Northern Tool and they are a 20" garden cart tire and wheel assembly. I remove the factory tube and replace it with a Never Flat foam tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hey yáll Thats some beautiful workmanship. When I built my first cart it had the handles almost directly above the axle and the long guns near vertical. I added a big umbrella and it promptly blew over in a moderate wind. I stretched the wheelbase out past the base of the handle and the longguns and suddenly, problem solved. Imis and no I dont have a picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
