X mas gift for my wife

Looks really nice. I’m sure she’ll love it.

(You’d better open a window…. it looks kinda smoky in the shop.)

Nice case! The sign of a true LJ is lots of fine dust on the camera lens.
I’m sure she will love it.

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

What a thoughtful gift! She’ll cherish it for many years and I’m sure fill it up too.

Very nice work. Merry Xmas.

The case is very good. But it is plain to see that you know the best part of it is being able to use your hobby as one way to express your love for your family. That’s the best “finish” of all!

I’m sure she will cherish it.It sure gets hard to hide the christmas gifts in the shop or not letting them see you working on it ,doesn’t it?

Nice build. Are your shelves adjustable so you can put in awards of different sizes?

Very nice work. She will be excited I’m sure. My ex-wife used to be a runner too so I know all about the medals hanging all over the place. :-)

-- Wayne - Plymouth MN

I’m with them!

-- Regards, Woodworm - KL, MY.

Funny all I have to show for my running days is some old mostly holey t-shirts. mean while this is a reall handsom case but before you apply any finish you might want to invest in a dust collector.

Oops, I have not yet started my wife’s present. Nice way to be done early.

-- Things of the greatest worth are from the Earth. If you tell yourself that something is "close enough" it is not...do it again.

Looks great. I like the detail around the door.

nice job lookin good

-- Jim, Kentucky

Thanks you for looking, I was surprised to see so many comments. The photo quality as not so much to do with dust but rather a poor quality phone camera. I will post more when I am finished and it is installed.
Scott you are right about hiding gifts the shop is not that big but my beloved never goes in so I am OK. Gary the Shelves are dadoed into the frame and have two rows of groves to hold the medals upright. There will be a glass pane to the door (thanks to Charles Neil for the tip about modeling clay it works great) and a backboard still need to be mounted but I will only do that after the finish is on. I think she will like it and I have picked a great location to install it, at the end of a hall way that can be seen from the living room and dinning room area. Oh! and Brent you still have 22 days until Christmas.

Happy holidays to all
