Two things. First I want to apologize for the poor pics. Taken with my tablet on this dreary day.
Second. I tried to post this earlier, but this darn tablet wont let me post all the pics at one time. So it looks like I will have to make several posts to show all the pics. Sorry.

Its made from tongue and groove pine boards. It has a safety glass top.

It has 3 drawers, the top one is for the display, the lower 2 are for storage. They each hold 4 of those plastic tupperware like shoeboxes.

The display drawer is about 3" deep and divided into compartments. I have different thickness's of styrofoam in each compartment to make them different depths. The foam is covered with black velvet.

Very nice indeed ,and very well made. a credit to you :thumbsup:
 

Awesome table, that's a great way to display your finds.
 

I love it, you did a super job.
 

Good job guy.... You should be proud of it. I'm working on a new toy box order with a "Batman" theme now. "The Joker" profile is painted on front with batman emblems on the ends.

But nice work especially on the display drawer! :occasion14:
 

Excellent work ! I took the cheap & easy way out with mine but I'm not much of a carpenter either. Bought an old coffee table at a garage sale that had 2 drawers in it. Kept just the drawer fronts and hinged them and installed locks. Cut the top open with a router, dropped in a piece of heavy thick glass and made a bottom that I covered with some Civil War themed fabric. It works but yours is outstanding.

About the only thing I would glue together trying to make something would be my fingers!
