Brag Forum / half barrel display

« on: June 05, 2013, 04:57:47 pm »

Two Photos of a shell I made and you have already seen, I have just used it to showcase the half barrel mirror display.


The end caps are 3/8 poplar and the slats that make up the half barrel are pine.  I got the mirror from Pat Catans and it is one of those flexible plastic mirrors.  The inside is 6 in tall by 5 inches wide.



I think it will be a good little display for 3d objects but of course time will tell.
