    finished display cabinet

    Well I ran out of mahogony so the door is walnut. It looks ok together I guess.
    Those tiny hinges were one of the hardest things I ever did. Well getting the door to close straight I guess. I need to put a little magnetic catch in there yet I guess because it doesnt stay closed on the wall. I used a key hole bit to route a hole to hang it on a screw in a stud.

    So now that I got a few shot glasses out of my curio its not quite so crowded. Maybe I will make another one for the tall ones.

      That is beautiful. What are the dimensions? One of my long term ideas is a similar case to hang in my shop to display some of my grandfathers old tools. He was a master machinist for many years.

        Looks great. Don't see anything wrong with the combination of woods.

        Do you have a source for small magnetic latches? I have a shadow box I'm working on and need one, too.

          its 19 1/2" tall and 16" wide. The shelves are 1/8" thick and about 2 1/2" deep.
          Im hoping to find the magnetic latch at woodcraft.
          They have them on the website. I will use one and a small metal tab. That ought to hold it. Maybe if I did better on the hinges I wouldn't have needed one. Or maybe I should have shelled out a little more on better hinges.

            Not bad, considering you drank all those shots and did the cabinet the same day. Nice work.

                Looks great, wife has been talking about one for a while. But she wants it much larger, and able to hold all the different size shot glasses she has.

                  I just bought ball catches (sounds awful ... ) at Rockler. They have several sizes. I wanted a catch for a door on a small china cabinet, and these are really nice. Of course, they are around $5 each, so they ought to be. They may not work for your door, looking at the picture, but Rockler does have a wide selection. I visit the Rockler in Denver, so I am pretty familiar with their inventory, but Lee Valley has lots of hardware, as well. We just got a Woodcraft nearby, so I'm anxious to check them out.

                  Also, I think Rockler has free shipping to mid-February.

                          Nice collection of glasses, and a good looking project to display them.
