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.

The master has some of his creations back. The world is back in alignment now. Nice job Dave. By the way, thanks for breakfast.

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.  |

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.....)

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. |
