Default Solution for bayonet and other storage.

Some time ago, I had posted looking for advice on how to best store and display my bayonets.

I had been searching for a flat file cabinet - normally used to store engineering drawings. However, finding one made of wood meant prices well north of $1000, and new metal cabinets were not that much better.

My spouse, CINCHouse, found something online at Home Depot. It has 4 drawers that are 36" wide and 24" deep, and 3" tall. There are also 2 drawers that are 17" x 24" x 5", and 2 drawers that are 17" x 24" x 3"/

It is part of the Martha Stewart collection. My seething hatred for her aside, it works well and fits the decor in the man cave/gun room.

Picked up some royal blue felt, cut it to size and glued it in the wide drawers.

Attachments left to right:
Cabinet, US bayonets 1873 - present, Bayonets rest of the world, Pistols, and the NFA drawer.
