Display Case

First I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get this together.
This is what the display case will look like when finished. My wife even said I could put it up in the living room.

Thanks Matt, Your message came in while I was inside Lowe's...
Had the guy cut me a piece of Lexan to fit the frame. Only took him 3 tries.:spin:

LOL

:bgi:I'm going to rig the alarm from my gun safe to it.

Mac, you got what you need? PM me with what you are still missing, and I'll look to see or PM you back what I have new.
But let's see some more shots of the case. I need some inspiration for something I'm gonna build for the raffle at TFCTFN. ( and maybe some small ones to swap for plugs.....)

Uhmmm..... That is just the top. I'm going to start the rest of the case Monday. Wife wants to go skiing tomorrow:err:

I'm going run a piano hinge with quadrant hinges on the top corners.
The bottom edge will have 2 small hasps with padlocks. (got to keep my wife out of there. :D

niko 01-24-2009 06:39 PM

a few weeks from now... mac comes home from a long day of hoing his own plugs. the display case is smashed, the alarm is going off. a red truck is seen fleeing the area. (the fat dog is too slow to catch me)

tynan19 01-24-2009 06:54 PM

vanstaal 01-24-2009 06:58 PM

Skiing was ok. We made 4 or 5 runs. (stayed on the greens as my wife doesn't have toe confidence to ski anything steeper) Then we went inside to get a cup of hot chocolate. On the way back out to ski some more Mary says to me "my boot broke". I turned around expecting to see a popped buckle, but nope. The whole toe of her boot broke off. She said it just popped off.

Mary was disappointed that we couldn't ski anymore. I was thankful that the boot didn't fall apart when she was skiing. If that had happened while we were coming down the hill she probably would have gotten hurt.

Raven 01-26-2009 06:30 AM

that was LUCKY
 
she noticed it... wow

having a fractured or broken ankle at this time of year is NO picnic

Big Water 01-26-2009 06:54 AM

Plugs?
 
Hey Mac, that is going to be beautiful!! I coming in a little late on this where did all the plugs come from? Gary

Crafty Angler 01-26-2009 08:18 AM

Glad to hear Mary didn't get hurt on that one - pretty freaky -

I think it was God's way of telling you to get right home and finish another display case...:hihi:

Some I bought, some I traded for and some were given to me.
Thanks again to all who helped me out.

Hard to see the picture clearly, getting old, are they all "MAC" plugs?
