wds's - Model cases

[wds]

Something I have been working on and recently completed and installed. A pair of model cases.
They are installed in my backyard office/ man-cave/ work spce. They are roughly 22’ wide x 32” high and 4-1/2” deep. You get the idea. Lights are from IKEA and are wired daisy chain fashion to the book cases to the right, back to a switch by the door. Adjustable glass shelves. Glass doors installed to keep the dust off (I hope!).

NEXT!

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Bill

Thanks ausf!
Thanks Bob! Hope you are well on your way to recovery. Cheers.
Thanks Luiz!
Thanks Tom! Yes it’s a constant battle to keep 10lbs of beans in a 8 lb. bag. I did a little clean up prior to photos. Notice I didn’t show the other side of the “room” (box). :laugh:
Thanks Ed.
Thanks Warren! Shoe boxes. I think this will have to be a rotating display. Out with the old in with the new (and hopefully improved).

Cheers,

Bill

Excellent job on the cases Bill! What hinges did you use on the doors, and do they have glass or lexan (acrylic) for the "see thru stuff"?

Thanks, Paul!

The hinges are by Blum (or any other similar cabinet hinge) See photo below.
The doors are glazed with glass. The glass shop said it was "double strength". It's not tempered, and not all that thick. It does add weight (over plastic, lexan, etc...) I'm sure the glass in the doors, and the weight of the glass shelves doubled the weight of the cabinet w/ models.

Thanks for looking.
