Shot Glass Collector's Display Case

Crazy, I could use one of these for my router bits.

I agree with you Dennis. That would be a great shop addition

Nice Case.

Thanks MS DebbieP, they have one of the displays full already and about 1/4 of the other one…

Great job…But much too much glass for clumsy me. Thanks for sharing.

Cool case. I’m glad this came back up. That will be a great collection. Lot of drinking too!

This is very cool. I have my grandmothers salt & pepper shaker collection collecting dust in the attic until I can build a display case. Did you do this from a plan? I don’t have that many salt & pepper shakers and their size is bigger than shot glasses, can you give me an idea of how you did this?

Very cool Sawhorse. I like addition of the glass to keep the dust out. What was the hardest part of building this?

Robbi and Bill,
No, I did not have a plan, thought this up on my own…fretted about it for weeks before starting. The interior grid framing was the most difficult part, or should I say the layout and planning, once I decided how it was going to look and how I plan to do it, it was fairly simple to cut out. I made a jig similar to a box joint jig and used a dado blade to cut slots in 1/4” oak so that they would innerlock with each other in each section and thus provide strength to entire section. The sections are partitioned by 1/2” oak to add additional strength to the overall display.
