Hello everybody. It's been a long time since I was last here, well I didn't croak yet.
Anyway, I was called upon by my church to build a display box for a 3D crystal display that would be mounted in the wall in the fellowship hall. This is in honor of our senior elder and his wife.
The crystal dimensions are 10”H x 18”W x 4-3/4”D. I am thinking of building a box with interior dimensions of 14”H x 22”W x 6-1/4”D. The box will be flush with the front wall with a 2” picture-frame-like molding that will also secure the glass. The glass and the molding will be installed before the box is mounted in the wall. It will be slide in from the front. Access to the box will be from the back wall – a passage way. The box will be lined with black velvet. Is the box size OK?
Most likely, I will have to make one for that size crystal. Should I use LED or other options? How bright should the light be?
I need some ideas. HELP
Howie
