Picrel says it all. I want a sturdy fucking safe to keep cash, dragon dildos etc inside. I don't need it to be fire safe and I can't spend thousands on a quality safe. Any advice? I haven't seen much online about diy safes so I'm assuming it's a difficult or unrealistic project

forgot to mention this in the OP: I'm having a hard time finding a suitable internal lock. I dont care if it's combination or a key, but I want it strong and it needs to be inside the safe (not a padlock thru some rings welded to the outside). Any help? everything online that would work is out of my budget so I'm considering getting something like this and building the rest of the apparatus myself (bolt and whatever else is in a lock)

Best safe is hidden safe. Barring that make the lock electronic solinoid lock or servo deadbolt and tack weld the key hole. Bolt to floor joists and snake wires to another room.

If they get into that then no safe is ...well safe

an electronic deadbolt might work but i'd like for the safe to be portable (kind of retarded, I know). I'm also wondering about the internal hinges. I have a few ideas but still searching for the right solution

Just bolt a metal box to the floor. They either brought an angle grinder or they didn't.

All you need is a glass pickle jar, a long rubber glove, and a ziplock bag. Take your valuables into the ziplock bag then into the pickle jar. Now, fill the pickle jar up with piss and shit. Use the rubber glove whenever you want to get your valuables. Hide the glove somewhere. No one will ever steal your shit.

Cost: $10-$12

You can get an Abloy cam lock for around $20 on ebay. Will likely only come with one key, but you might be able to have a duplicate made. Will be much more secure than that lump of pot metal you posted. Of course there are other lock makers that are probably as secure but that was just the first that came to mind.

A safe is just a steel box with a strong lock so its not unrealistic.
Just make sure your welds are good, your hinges are strong and not exposed, and that your lock cant be defeated by a hammer and screwdriver and it should be good.

A safe is only as strong as the weakest part of it so make sure every functioning part is strong enough that you'd bet whatevers in your safe on it.

Also bolt it to the ground with an inch thick bolt or four and no ones getting their hands on your dildos.

Honestly, you can probably build a box out of 2x4 or 4x4 (use real wood joints, not screws) and it'll be as hard to get into as 1/4" or thinner steel safe.

If it takes more then a circular saw to get into, it's pretty much doin the job.

The hard part, as with steel, will be the lock. Probably a good Medeco or Abus lock, plus a big ass latch with 4" toggle bolts, will repel anyone that can't physically pick up the whole safe.

Some safe making advice, you would think making your 1/4in walls twice as thick would make them twice as hard to get into, but going from 1/4in to 1/2in makes it 8x harder to get into.

No, the best safe is/are two safes. A hidden one (not even a team of police investigators would find it) and a normal, commercially available safe filled with cheap stuff and fake documents.

Forgot to mention: That already worked out fine. Burglars found the sacrificial safe, stopped looking any further and so caused only minimal damage.

Same way with wallets. carry a fake one with 5 dollars in it and a bunch of crap, and put your real one in your sock or some other unlikely location.

I've been planning to do this for years, and will probably get around to it after I get robbed.

what are you keeping in your wallet that you can put in your sock and still walk comfortably/not destroy?

You can't build a safe through which you can't burn with an oxy acetylene torch. Safes are a waste of money. If you honestly had something of worth you would put that shit in a bank lockbox.

If you don't have bars of gold in your house and you just want to bother a person that robs you then go ahead and weld some steel plates (thick as possible) together and build a sturdy closet: machine your own hinges of you can, the rest is pretty self-explanatory.
I would put a ceramic fibre isolation in between two thick plates of steel, just to make it partially fire resistant (24"×12"×1" 2400°F 20$ on amazon) still would burn through with an oxy acetylene torch.

>> No.1412781

>>1411560
Why do you want an internal deadbolt? That just adds so much more unnecessary complexity and would probably make it easier to force. Just make the safe out of 1/4" steel plate and weld some tabs over the door and use padlock(s).

I see. Maybe a magnet on each side of a metal rod to lock/unlock. Use much more powerful magnet to slide bar. Or maybe week magnet and strong electro magnet when u need to unlock? Use small momentary on and make tiny hole. Poke with a paperclip. If nobody knows about it then should be good

Kast o lite insulates to 3000°F, the torch burns at 6000°F. That plaster will get brittle (not as if you couldn't just use a hammer).
Again if your shit is worthless no one will bother to open a safe with an oxy acetylene torch, they would try a angle grinder max.
But yeah I would not mix zyklon B into my plaster.

Right idea wrong track.
The best way to avoid niggers and glow-in-the-dark niggers from getting to you and your property is by securing your entire home.
>24/7 lights around the entirety of your home
>24/7 surveillance system, both overt and covert
>computers powered with a separate circuit and using type M or type L or type H plugs. Consistent back-ups and encryption. Or have the plug be a false plug and actually power the PC through induction.
(The plugs/induction is to prevent the 'loophole' that leftists/marxists use to deny people their 4th amendment rights.)
>river rocks or gravel around the entirety of the house a few inches thick and for 2ish yards.
It's a neat alternative to gutters as well. It makes noise.
>vestibule for every single entrance
That means front door, back door, side door, garage door, etc
>door braces
>steel door frames
>steel window frames
>concrete construction
>security film on all windows, and/or laminate
>NO bay windows
>strobe lights and tear gas
>hidden automatic emergency generator
>nothing flammable in rooms with windows
>horizontal garage door with locking grate behind
>dogs
>wall around your property
>no tall (6in +) vegetation allowed within 50 yards of dwelling
>a phone call with your insurance agent discussing how you can reduce your risk of burglary and lower your home insurance bill
>don't live in a town with non-whites
>don't live in a town that offers public transportation
>be on the city council and/or attend meetings to prevent leftism
>donate to politicians that oppose low-income housing
>participate in the community and help fellow humans to prevent the degeneration of society
>have a hidden firearm or two readily accessible in every room
(Don't hide them in 'security' furniture. Niggers smash things for fun, and then you'll be out a gun.)
>Hearing protection, fire extinguishers, and first aid kit, including quikclot, in every room
(Quickclot because niggers get the drop)
>bulk freeze dried food and water
