Made a display case, tell me what you think

**shorynot** · 10-11-2009, 07:42 PM

I been wanting to do this for awhile, and most of the thanks can go to my father. He helped me create the template for all the shoulder screws to go. This is a shadowbox i bought at a local crafts store. It already had hinges on it and closed with magnets. We pulled out the back piece of Styrofoam and replaced it with a decent quarter inch piece of wood. Then stretched a piece of felt over the board, inserted the board into the back...and sunk some hanging anchors.

My question to you all, would some of you be willing to buy something like this? I was thinking of mass producing these, giving people the option of woodframe, or black like ill be showing. Also giving the option of felt color. The case will display 14 razors (2 week rotation) 5 on each side, and 4 in the middle. The only thing i would plan on changing is instead of stretching the felt around the wood, glueing down the felt so i can make the back look a bit better. Right now the back is a bit ugly, you can see where i stretched the felt across and whatnot. Anyways...let me know

Right now I only have 5 razors (one on the way), but i look forward to filling this up.

Here you can see that i inserted some rubber weather guard stripping down over the frame. The only reason i did this is because i will be keeping my case in the bathroom and dont want too much moisture getting in.

And heres a closeup of the handle that did not come with this. The shadowbox was designed to be opened from right to left. I decided i wanted this laid out in landscape style...bought the handle cheap at a hardware store and sunk it in with some screws.

There you have it
