The pard that I built it for has been after me for awhile to build him a special gun cart and here’s what I came up with. He really liked my rolltop carts that I’ve built in the past so that was the biggest requirement. A lot of the accouterments on the cart such as the coin hole covers and the fractal burning came about after the cart was partially built. Initially he kind of wanted a Harley Davidson themed cart but as the build progressed he went in a little different direction and I think he came up with an excellent theme. The cart is built out of African Black Limba lumber with through and sliding dovetail joinery and mortise and tenon joinery where needed. Double Diamond built the holsters, seats, chest handles, push bar and barrel bracket leather and he did the five leather medallions on the cabinet, chest and carriage. He wanted holsters mounted in the cart for 4 revolvers so there are 2 mounted in the chest below the trays and then 2 mounted up in the cabinet behind the roll top door. I’ve still got a couple of things to finish up like the liner in the bottom of the chest and attaching the chest holster bracket to the inside of the chest. You’ll notice in the bottom of the chest that there are a couple of loading strip bins. Each bin will hold 6 loaded strips standing on end. Just pull out a loaded strip, load up, shoot and when you return to the cart stick the empty strip back where it came from and grab another when you need it. The two upper trays will hold shotgun shells, tools, spare ammo, glasses, ear protection and other match needs. On the side of the cabinet there are umbrella brackets, dual cup holder and SG swab and brush holder. The chest lifts off of the carriage and the cabinet lifts off when a pin is pulled. The tires are rubber and flat free. It took a lot of time to fractal burn the entire cart. I posted some video and pictures of the door being built awhile back and the fractal burning process on it. One reason I like to use the Black Limba when I fractal burn is that it burns really well and shows real well after the oil and lacquer finish. I’m pretty proud of this one and I doubt that I build many more, although there’s a pard that’s already offered to put down a deposit on #100, this one is #86. Just plain fantastic. Wow1 Congratulation's on a job very well done. Just plain fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
