I have built the first of a few display cases and a few more to come if people want them! This one is made from an Ash frame with inset MDF board in the base, and 4mm toughened glass in the top. This is not easy or cheap to build but looks beautiful! As an extra detail in this one (I may or may not put it in future ones!) it has an inlay of Maranti just in front of the glass in the base to give it a subtle extra.

It is large enough to fit in the victory on it's stand but will get you more detailed measurements later.

Can be supplied with or without glass (without so you can pick up more local to yourselves if longer distance it's best not to travel with big sheets of glass!) but is all setup to take 4mm thick toughened glass. Please only use toughened! Will be supplied as base, top (glass already installed as per pics!) and uprights of the frame and uprights are doweled ready to fit so you just place where going, and assemble which is a simple process. Once completely assembled this will be very heavy to would suggest it put on something strong!

Pics are below of it unassembled and also assembled minus the glass

Cost: £250.00 not including glass for sides, front and back (glass in top IS included)
£450.00 including all glass

This is for collection only from Birmingham due to size, weight and fragility of the glass!

This is a lot cheaper than you will find anywhere else. I looked into using acrylic etc instead of glass but cost was actually similar in most cases and acrylic scratches exceedingly easy (even running over with dusting cloth will lightly mark it!) and flexibility of materials at this size was too great and finally its weight was only marginally less so glass was the best option.

Still have this available and need to recoup costs on this now so going at the bargain price of £150 excluding glass as detailed above (top glass IS included).

If doesn't sell quickly will be going on ebay with this as a starting price
