Youll find the cut list below to follow along with this gun concealment coffee table. I designed this coffee table since the others I have seen have a few obvious signs that something is off. Like holes in the apron for the drawer slides to move back and forth. So this one is designed with a sliding apron, that really quite effectively hides the fact that this is anything but a coffee table.
***If you want a deeper concealment area, use 2x6 instead of 2x4 for the aprons. This will give you 2 more inches of usable space.
