Model display case
i have a neighbor that is just turning 90 and ive done various projects for him over the years. he bought this model of a car he had wanted when he was a much younger man but could never afford. so this is as close as he ever got. so he comes to me and asks for me to make a display case. well i couldn't say no, and even if i did he wouldn't give up until i did. this is made from walnut with maple splines. 1/8" plexiglass and a rubber pad on the bottom. finish is one coat of GF arm r seal and 5 coats spray can lacquer. i used the micro mark table saw and miter saw to do most of the cutting. without those it would have been a lot harder. i think he's gonna be happy.
