I finished my prototype gun display case -- came out pretty good considering it was made from cheap/brittle particle board -- see photos below. It was a good exercise -- albeit overkill for a cheap prototype gun display case for the BB Guns in the garage -- successfully testing my new shop equipment and my rusty woodworking skills/techniques. What you probably can't tell from the photos is that I utilized the exact same features/techniques I plan for the next, larger solid-oak display case (for my antique Kentucky Rifle & Pistol) -- box joints, riveted hardware, security glass and even slightly beveled edging...
