    Default I'm not a Cabinet maker

    I'm not a cabinet maker. Well except for the hinges and door clasp/lock I have managed to complete the display cabinet for my pens and smalls (OOPS should be small turned items).

    Made from a single plank of Sapele some MDF and perspex. I also borrowed the idea from a member on another forum for the mirror on a roll for the back and shelves.

    I apologise for the photo especially the reflection

    That is the thing with the "Mirror on a roll" not as clear as a glass mirror but enough reflection to do your hair or in this case just right to reflect light around inside the cabinet with some refelction. I also used the perspex instead of glass as it keeps the weight down as it will be transported to craft fairs.
