Building a Simple Countertop Display Case
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My friends asked me to make a large countertop display case for their store in Dallas. If you're in the area, stop by Neighborhood at 411 N. Bishop Ave.
Notes:
▶ When using the sawdust-and-glue trick to patch minor gaps in wood, don't wait for the glue to dry before sanding. The additional sawdust created by the sanding helps the repair to blend in. When applying the glue, you can just apply a generous helping to the area and rub it in with your finger, rather than painstakingly using a toothpick like I did, but I prefer not to have to sand away surrounding glue stain, especially when I'm working with veneer.

I love how Wesley uses only tools that a general shop will have. I sometimes get real tired of seeing people use CNC machines and other tools is common folk don’t have; it’s nice to see someone use extraordinary techniques with accessible tools to do remarkable work.
Wesley, you clearly have much to learn. Most other youtubers have long ago mastered the art of video editing so as to showcase their flawlessness. How can you expect to grow your subscribers if you allow us to see that you are a mere human being?!

I’m confuse lol what
Showing how to fix our mistakes is a big part of the project thank you for showing yours! Nice display cabinet!
I love this guy. Totally transparent and not afraid to show the inevitable mistakes. It was like watching myself when I'm in the shop :)
Thanks for showing the mistakes. Not only does it help make me feel better about my mistakes... it shows some great fixes.
Awesome cabinet, thanks for showing your mistakes also. Makes me realize I'm not the only one who screws up "every project".
Nice project. Enjoyed the reality "woop"s moments. We all have been there done that. Thanks for leaving them in.
This is exactly what me as a detectorist needs to show my relics and jewellery in. Many thanks.
I enjoyed this video because you allowed us to see mistakes and how you resolved them. I suspect most people are too prideful to show it in their videos. I learned more because you shared the kind of mistakes we all make.
I love the sacrificial foam cutting table. Brilliant.
Those little noises makes these videos so much better
Love the rain sound. Thanks for not apologizing.
Learned quite a bit from this vid! Including, but not limited to, the notion that it's not just me that finds a way to make little mistakes along the way! Excellent work!
Perfection! What a beauty! I need this cabinet in my life! TFS!
Great video! Really looking forward to replicating somethibg similar soon. Showing The fixes for those minor mistakes are brilliant!
Excellent work!
Very nice you do good work. Inspired me to do my own frame and display case for my ship model
6:57 Brilliant touch up! Great video
2:25 We thank you for your sacrifice, crosscut sled.
Cheers on how you solved that flub with the mortise position! I do the same crap on every project too. So aggravating!
Wesley, your stuff is great, man. It's the perfect mix of presenting a project in an entertaining way and creative problem solving. :) I've had a ton of, "Why didn't I think of that?" moments watching your videos and used several of them in my own stuff. You should have as many subs as Diresta and I'm sure you'll be there someday. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks, friend, I appreciate that!
Someday I’d love to have a tool shop and build beautiful things like that. This jewelry obsessed lady wants to build jewelry boxes for jewelry obsessed ladies.
Nicely done!
I love this and the explanation too

very nice. I like the way you do your videos.
7:26 I feel your PAIN 😂. Brilliant fix though!
looks fantastic even with the deliberate changes lol .
Super freakin nice 👍
Funny as hell. Glad i came across it. It looks great!
Nice save with that repair
Hey great video! Id love to see a video on how to make a ball card display case to hang on the wall.
Nice
At 6:14... I keep a small Tupperware container full of what I call “wood flour.” I get it out of the little collection trap on my palm sander. Comes in handy for situations like this.
"and I've clearly angered God..." 🤣
I really want your saw to make the Jetson's sound again! Find the dude that griped about it...
I like what u do I hope i can get that good
Well I had to view your other vids. I was trying o figure out why you made such good videos YOUR A TEXAN and that says it all.I have a honorary birth certificate from state of TEXAS and I live in Euless witch means you know were I live. You make intelligent and easy to watch videos. Keep up the good work and I will keep following your vids.
dogonnit, I wanted to give you a thumbs up but realized that I've all ready seen the video and' well' all ready given it a thumbs up. I know, I'll share it. I love your videos man.
Oh BTW...nice case.
nice! i want to do the same but smaller and silicone the inner box corners as i will put sand in it and a millennium falcon in it and a small wooden 4 prong wooden rake to make design in the sand and legs as a coffee table and possibly the side or the hinge do half cylinder so it looks like a book coffee table.
Woodworking in a thunderstorm. Does it get more comfy than that?
Wondering if you can switch this up a bit in order to make it into a refrigerated case somehow??? It would work out great for outdoor picnics.
Lmao I kind of live it when you mess up but fix the problem... For people that work in fields that require repairing or building you can really relate... it's just reminder we're not perfect but we strive to be
What thickness glass did you use?
Do you remember or have a generalized cost for materials for this project?
Wesley, nice job. What's that black tool you used to put in the metal clips to secure the glass?

How much does it cost to build one. Would love to have a smaller one for my vendor booth for certain items
Hi, Just wanted to say great job on the box. You technique with the patch and gap fill is awesome. Question though, how did you miter the wide boards of the box? I'm guessing sliding miter saw?
@mwinner101

Table saw for the box sides with the blade tilted 45°. Table saw with blade at 90° and crosscut sled with triangle ruler to cut 45° miters for the frame. All boards laying flat.
See what happens when u anger da Gods. Great comeback to the error. Cabinet came out great.
I just subscribed.
3:48 what is that suspicious looking robot doing there, leaning against the pole?
See how a bessy belt clamp brings force to 45 degree joints. You simply can copy that. No open joints any more
great job, but if I may ask a question.... if the sides (and lid) are sloped then surely the top edge of the front panel (where the lock is) wont marry up with the lid properly. Have you sloped the top edge ? or doesn't it matter much ? Thanks. Dave

I can't remember if I angled the front edge or not, but if I didn't, the front lip will still touch the lid, so it wouldn't matter much. And the angle is so slight, the lock isn't affected.
I enjoyed watching this *allot* ... *especially* the parts where you screwed up. A *Big* part in working with wood is to find ways to fix stuff where you screwed up. That said ... why did you start with the Band for the top on one side then screwed in in sequence. I would have put one screw in on one side ... then on the opposite ... to keep it level. *Everytime* i do it the way you do it here ... it gets screwed up ... and i have to fix allot.
You're OK as long as those are carpenter ants! :-)

Wesley, what is the aerosol spray you were using and what is it's purpose? Looked like some sort of clear coat. Any reason it can't be spayed over stained wood? Just a guy trying to learn.

Its Deft spray lacquer. You can find it at the big box stores. You can use it over stain. Good luck!
What is the name of the tool that you used that puts the clips to hold the glass in

Frame master point driver. I had to Google it because nobody on here had the answer. Hopefully you found out the answer before now.
How did you make the cam lock work. I have the same set up for my card display case. But I can't wrap my head around on how to make the lock work. Any pointers would be great.

I suppose that depends on where you're stuck. I found it helpful to take two scraps of wood and test the installation with those first to make sure my measurements worked correctly.

Did you just use a cam lock with a hook and then have the cam lock strike off center. So that when you lock the cam the hook is what will hold the lid from being able to be pulled open. (If that makes sense) I just couldn't wrap my head around how a normal cam lock with just a strait cam would be able to lock a case. As it wouldn't be able to hold against anything vs if you used it in a cabinet and it locks against the top lip. I'm thinking that's what you did. And that is why you hollowed out the middle area where the lock strike will sit. So if this all makes sense haha I guess what I'm asking now is did you just have to put the lock strike off center a bit from the the cam lock so it had something to grab onto?

Oh, yeah, you definitely have to use the kind with a hook. The one I used is linked in the video description. It comes with a diagram that specifies the offset.

Nice video. I want to make my own shadowbox frame for a memory collage..don't want to pay hundreds of dollars!
Was it too costly to replace the side that had the mistake in it? Failing that personally I would have squared the recess and put in a full depth blank from another piece rather than a veneer. Good looking cabinet though.
