July 18, 201411 yr Commissioned trophy case.32"wide, 30 1/2" high 11" deepAdjustable oak shelvingSliding glass doors.Red oak carcass with red oak ply back.Finish is 1 coat of 50/50 BLO & poly and two coats of 80% poly and 20% BLO followed by Paste wax. This is one heavy box, and with the 1/4" thick glass doors it's really heavy. It's weight is the reason for the modified Freedomcleat on the back.The top half of the cleat is placed 1/2" from the back. The lower half has a piece of 1.24 MM BB attached to engage the cleat. It looks like a lighted cabinet. It's not. That's a reflection of a florescent behind me.
July 18, 201411 yr Wow Gene,, that is a great looking trophy case. Very nice finish and smooth looking. Should be a nice place to display all of the wonderful trophies.
July 18, 201411 yr Author Thanks John. I don't got no trophies. )-: > It was commissioned by a guy to give to his wife for a B-day present. She's a horse person and collected the trophies for barrel racing and cutting.....I think. I do know she's not the dressage type.
July 18, 201411 yr Author Thanks Lew. I started making shelves that way back when I was using 5/8" plywood for shelves and just continued for the solid shelving. Old habits are hard to break.
