I got the bug and went to the hardwood guy up the road and
had him plane some oak for me. the fellow at the glass shop
down the road did the mirror backing. came out pretty nice.
hi Andy. I'm back with a new username. I was buzzkutt033 for many years.
much like you, we dig very few flasks whole in this area. 90% of the value bottles
that come out of the privies around here are sodas. lots of RR workers, iron workers and
miners around here that liked their beer. all the stuff shown is from shows or private deals.
been down with a broken ankle the past couple months and can't wait to get the shovel in the ground.
My father-in-law does a lot of nice woodworking, I may have to show him this and see if I can talk him into making something like this for me sometime. How did you attach the mirror glass to the back?

Hello. You can use a contact cement, weldwood makes a great type, just smear it on both pieces you want to join together and when it dries press the items together and VOILA they are pretty permanently stuck together
what I've learned about display cabinets / shelves......
I always seem to run out of room !!
Gotta say that the better half tolerates the bottles much
better than the sports memorabilia. Most of that collection has been
stashed away in totes in the basement.
