I made a couple of cases last week. They turned out ok seeing I used wood from an old pallet. Hard to take a picture without glare.

I was going to say I see what you did there, all those full cases in the reflection…

I’ve built plenty of stuff out of wood but I’ve never known the best way to set the glass/plexi… do you cut a Chanel and glue the wood around or do you use those … I think they are called glazing points? Or just make a sandwich around it?

Yes. I cut an indent 3/16"s and set the glass in clear silicon caulk. I used to use glazing points but I like the silicon. If any squeezes out you can peel it off with razor the next day.
