Hey gang - my first post here but I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the great info on building my own jersey display cases. After looking at the jaw dropping costs on Ebay and elsewhere, I decided to tackle it myself. This forum provided the best information and photographs. I used several different instructions and provided my own twist with the crackle paint. Gives it a different touch....nothing hanging yet, just threw stuff in for the photos. Need to get some hangars and get them mounted (along with the other mountain of stuff to hang).
Plexi fronts, all standard 2x materials, simple piano hinges, magnetic catch. 1/4" Birch backing. Would imagine they ran around $40 to $45 each - the paint made it probably more like $55 each. About 2 hours each with the painting (the crackle paint is a pain, should have hired Martha to come help).
Ended up making 6 - 2 Panthers, 2 Red Sox and 2 Celtics...
Let me know your thoughts or questions. Thanks again!
