Title: Display Cases Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on February 14, 2009, 10:44:35 PM Not too sure if this is on the right forum topic or not!
Has anyone else either made or plan on making their own display case? I ask this as I've just finished my second one and am always looking for suggestions on how to make it better/cheaper. The one I've just made cost me about £30 in total but I'm sure this is cheaper than buying one. I will post some pictures up tomorrow.

The 1st one shows the case from the outside. The 2nd one shows the lock I fitted inside. The 3rd one shows the canvas type material I fitted inside (I used clear nail varnish to stop it fraying) The 4th one shows how I secured the window with very small Beading, it also shows the Brass Hinge, the Brass Corner to tidy things up & the interior corner pieces I used to generally strenthen the case. The 5th one shows the Lock from above and The last one shows the pre shaped Beading I used to secure the window in place. I hope you like it BB Title: Re: Display Cases Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on February 15, 2009, 08:29:25 AM And the last
