A Home for Santa

[George Beck]

Hi All
I had a client ask for a 5 sided glass display case to hold these collectable santas. The challenge was to make the frames as thin as possible yet still strong enough for the glass. Here is the finished case. I am new here so this is a first attempt at photo's so I hope this works.

Hi George-

That is a very nice looking display case.

It's very similar for a project I have in mind, but that has been on the back burner since last fall.

Would you mind sharing the measurements of the case and the components to it?

Thanks,

Rick

The case is 40w x 25h x21.5 d. The frames which hold the glass are 2)40X20 1)19.5 x 20 a door 19.75x 20 and the top is 21.5 X21.5. Basically the frames are bridle jointed frames that are then rebated to allow for the inset door and end. The top is screwed on like a table top. The whole thing sits on a base made of cherry plywood, the edges covered with the Foot molding.
