Pair of china cabinets
My wife got a bunch of depression glass from her grandmother and it was about time to make a couple cases for it. Glass was shelves from Tiffany’s store. The hardware hinge straps were from copper pipe, split and hammered. Put lead dividers in the upper glass because it matched the windows next to the china cabinets.

Honouring the wood; honouring the antiques; honouring the grandmother … priceless!!
You must feel very proud of what you have created

They open opposite because they are in opposite corners of the dining room.
I wondered!!! Love them even more, now

Heirloom is right. I never thought of making hinges from copper pipe. Great idea!
