Nice work LR…
We do a lot of glass work as well. I don't care for it at all, but it's a necessary evil in this biz. Got a couple of really good guys that take care of it, so it's not too too painful.
I would like to say I heat it with a torch, but no
I order it through a glass company, just have to know how to call it out for the radius's,
then don't build until you have the actual piece in hand.

Rotating Display, This need to rotate in order to get to the case in the front
so I mounted it on a pole with a lazy susan on the top, then put spring loaded wheels on each end to keep it level.
Another Cash Counter
Did this whole jewelry store with glass cases and the frames on the backwalls.
Thanks corelz and anthm always appreciate it. (better late than never I guess)
I just finished this study.
Not my best work. I don't think my heart was into it using this dark ebony stain over Alder wood.
Plus it took me way too long to complete.
Not really my cup of tea and was a PIA to be honest.
Still waiting for the designer to provide handles. Then the walls are going to be wallpapered. Hopefully I will get better pics when it's all done then maybe post it as a project.
corelz.
Yes made the doors, 7/8" frames with 1/2" panels. Just a basic Shaker door.
I usually order doors but shakers are so easy I figured I would trade some time for some money
and just whip em up myself this time.
I buy my glue from CR Laurence.
They sale a few different kinds, velocities, curing rate, etc..
Your best bet would be to go to their site and look up UV glue and find the best one that fits your application.
I use Loctite 349
thanks, LR, the only one I have ever used is the pen type advertised on the TVinfomercials.
I don't have a "need" for it, it just seems like a nice item to have in the box.
Yeah, when I have 2 or 3 bottles, I like to use the newer stuff on important work and the older stuff on the not so critical stuff. I always get new tubes for anything when the glue is over 4 months old.
Getting old sucks….
I hate making mistakes. Was cutting half lap dado's for the pieces to intersect.
All the dado's were the same distance from the edge except the corner pieces,they were 3/8" difference.
I knew it, the paperwork showed it, except I got on a roll, and just cut all of them the same.
Now I have 3/8" gaps on the front of 2 pieces and in the back of 2 pieces.
Re-cut them or patch them? It's a very dark color.
