Sweet display A square 10. Can you give me the details of how you built that display case?

all my sketches are long gone - i banged them together in the garage from scraps from jobs , it was intended that they be basic shipping crates but the other bits kept getting added on and folks kept adding input ,

what can i say - ive built buildings from a sketch on the back of a cocktail napkin and sometimes the best results come from the need ,

its essential to know i only meaured out the 2" center to center basis for the rifles and bayos , i also wanted them displayed markings out so i added a wedge to cant them into the racks , and i didnt intend any finish work at all but wanted the rifles and bayos to stand out so mostly cedar and pine was used , a bit of redwood to use up scraps ,

i bought nearly nothing , but i tried to use brass metal bits if at all possible , i salvaged a lot from demolition projects where possible and spent a lot of elbow grease repolishing as necessary , one day it will turn back into scrap as they are fairly sizeable cabinets and when im gone or no longer have the space for them they must go ,

doubt anyone would buy them if they didnt have the use
