In the workshop
A basic run through of how a case takes
shape
Corner post and steel insert.
The slots are for the side glazing panels
A cross secton of a base moulding with part of mdf insert.
Shows the step down to the main mdf baseboard. This is useful in that a
supplementary baseboard (e.g. felt covered) is easily dropped in place.
Also a useful feature for a diorama base for waterline models.
Completed base with 2 corner posts in position.
Note that protective film is invariably left in place on the acrylic whilst
work is in progress.
Not shown is the supplementary mdf lift out base.
Same case with final panel going into place. Also shows the top cover.
ALL cases are pre-assembled to ensure that everything fits as it should.
A completed test build.
The case is now dismantled, the wood given its final fine sanding and finish
before being packed for shipping.
Another ready for final preparation and shipping. In this instance to
a customer in Greece.
This case was relatively tall and narrow.
Every one is different!
