By all means, please do. Its pine 1" x 6" x 8' primed trim board that I just ripped down to strips I needed. 1/2" MDF shelves that I wrapped in pine to keep them from sagging. Used my Kreg Jig for butt joints and lots of router work. The glass was all cut at Lowes (not sure the Canadian equivalent, but its just a big box hardware store). The backing is flashing that I hit with my orbital with 80 grit, which casts nice light from the LED strip lights that are lining the bottoms of all the shelves. For the top piece I made sure to make the ends exact 45 degrees.... I gave the guy\kid cutting the glass the measurements for the piece square and then said "alright, put it back in the cutter corner-to-corner and cut it in half" and said "I dont think that will work, but I'll give it a shot"... perfect cut! ha He was really good.
Thanks for the detailed response. I really need to find a way to display my good finds, my wife would be very pleased if I was able to contain my piles of stuff lol. I can't wait to get started on this project, I love building things.
