Friends of my daughter wanted a display case for their pocket knife collection. I made two of these.
The door’s Plexiglas was inserted into a dado during glue-up, and when it came out of the clamps I sawed the door off the case. The shelves were cut with a slight angle so the knifes would lean towards the back of the case. The 1/4” plywood back covered with felt was glued & nailed into a rabbet.

the door/plexiglass process sounds interesting.
Good idea re: angling the shelves.
The collector must have been thrille

Looks great! I’m curious, though… is there a provision for changing the plexiglass if it becomes scratched or broken?

Nice project. I am looking for a similar design for my son’s civil war collection.

Sorry… No plans…
The overall size was determined by the amount of maple stock that I had on hand.
The distance between the shelves was worked out with the person they were made for.
Thanks for looking
