Joel, Yes I builght the display cabinets myself. Because this was a converted attic space I have the low angled celing. I looked for cabinets that would work but didn't like anything I could find At a decent price. So after the cost of some tools and materals and the glass which was about 1/3rd of the cost 3/8 inch tempered glass shelving isn't cheap. But its strong enough i can stand on it. I ended up spending about $600 on the two cabinets. Building them myself was also very fullfilling. and I was able to paint the insided flat white to help reflect light and brighten up the bottles. Both cabinets also have two 20 watt florescent lights in them that simulite sunlight to give good true colors. Matt, I May open it to a slect few after the baltimore show next year lol. Stonebottles, I really like the local Baltimore stoneware bottles I just wish they were easier to find. I'v emanaged to get a respectable group of them together. Chris
