So I come to you my friends and ask for some leads. I want to build a sturdy bottle display in my basement. I will be using the joists to hold the framing etc. Its in the basement so it will need to be well lit.

About 5 years ago I came to you folks to provide a bottle name for my cat. Mason was the choice and excellent btw. So I need some assistance here.

Thanks so much,
Madpaddla

Here is a little more help on where its gonna go. Dried Peppers, Purple Sage, and Pineapple Sage removed. Jerry would have to find a new spot.

I kinda like it the way it is.. [8D] So do you want to make it fancy or cheap as possible? If you want the cheap way, I can give you some ideas..

jerry will be happy where ever he is.

In one room here I just framed in a nook area with 2x4s then sheet rocked around it. I put pot lights above and vertical shelf hangers in the back. Then I just added glass shelves. Not that expensive to do. Probably costs less than buying a good display case.

don't overload those 1/4" shelves if you can help it
Click to expand...

that's why I split them in the center. Less stress on shorter pieces.
I wanted to use glass shelves in my windows but they are 40" across, too wide for shelves like this.
I ended up using surplus laminated bamboo stair treads I got from my sister.
