Not as big a collection as some of you. But I sure love it! And yes that is a PB shot gun, just overlook that.

That one on the bottom right... is that a pumper or a springer?
The rack seems to serve the purpose. We've got slabs of cedar and pine on the walls with guns on them. Even an old weather beaten fence door.

The one on the bottom right is a stringer, not a springer. One of my other hobbies. I built that uke out of firewood. Bits of walnut and maple I culled out of our woodpile. The problem with my rack is it is at capacity....no room for expansion.

Just be glad it wasn't the missus saying she wanted to upgrade HER rack. That could get expensive REAL quick.

My wife's rack is just fine thank you very much. You are talking about her storage for her hobby's right?

Actually, I was referring to her shoe collection.

I hear tell, she could put Imelda Marcos to shame

I just new this was gonna go there ( but I thought I was gonna be the one to do it ). Nice job on that ukulele man !! I've been trying to learn to play my grandpa's old git ( a 1971 fender branded version of a harmony Stella acoustic ) but I'm not very good at it . Obviously you play, so good for you ( I don't think it's ever gonna happen for me, but there's always his old honer harmonicas I can try to learn to play, I just wish he was still around to teach me )

Oh my gosh !! Another missed opportunity. I must be getting old.
Anyhow... you do know that more rack space means more air guns and more air guns means more rack space right? It's a bottomless pit that most of us are still falling into.

I'm with avator on the bottomless pit thing... I have a 3 gun rack in the garage that's full, a 6 gun pistol rack in the garage that has 7 in it, 5 guns leaning up against the beer fridge in the office, one leaning up against the door to the office (on the kitchen side), somewhere around 10 in the gun safe, about the same leaning in the closet in the office, around 5 in the pantry, around 10 pistols in the ammo cabinet in the office and I think 8 in the gun cabinet in the bedroom. Oh, and a Crosman 2100 in the daily driver and a modified Crosman Recruit in the big truck... oh, and 6 pellet rifles sitting next to me. If that doesn't add up to 102, the rest are strewn around somewhere or other

, just remembered there's 3 sitting next to my end of the couch awaiting tinkering...

Ya do what ya gotta do, I must have found a keeper of a woman though since she doesn't seem to mind the BB/pellet guns strewn around the house... once I have little ones around I'm sure that will change but for now I'm ok...

I don't play the uke very well. My fingers are just too big....or to old..

My wife's shoe collection is not that big. Her hobby is yarn. She spins and knits. And yes her hobby is even more absorbing than mine.

shhhhhhhh!!! You don't want any intruders to know which door has the 12ga behind it, which seat at the table has a colt python .357Mag taped underneath it , and how many hand grenades you keep in the vegetable crisper

thought this thread was made by a woman looking to upgrade her rack lol

All of mine are leaned in corners or against walls throughout the house or in a dedicated closet in 'the back room'. Plus the several that are usually in the back seat of the mini van, under a blanket.

maraudinglizard · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2016, 07:53:39 PM »

Mine are in hard cases holding up the bed.
