RE: Graded Wall Display -- My Attempt
Teasers of my new vertical "big one". Mind you this is rough out of the frame clamp with the back screwed down. I have NOT sanded it down yet.......shortly so I can start staining today. Have to line the shelves, cut them, and get that all figured out first.
Overview:

Bottom row corner close up. You can see how they are recessed and sit IN the bottom of the frame unlike the last one I did when I got in a rush.

Top left corner view. This is to show how a small seam is left with the top piece being screwed in separately so it's removable in order to pull the glass and access the cards.

Screw holding top piece in, you can see it's flush, I put a counter sunk hole there for this purpose.

This one is coming out nice. I switched back to poplar. The oak I used on the previous one just didn't do it for me.
Huh.....I just started laying out the slabs to make sure everything is square. I can ALMOST fir 63 cards in the case (9 rows of 7 cards). Problem is that leaves literally 1/8" in between cards. So close but not quite.
