caldigger Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I finally picked up the display cabinets from my sister's place. The last of my parents legacy for me. I barely had enough room to pack these into my tiny place. My bedroom is piled high so as to make my living room more displayable. Now I have the tedious job of filling them. The larger will be strictly for the ammos. Corner one is for other niceties. My ammo cabinet, waiting on my having some time to fill. Corner unit...a work in progress. I will repost when cabinets are filled. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think I have room for one of them if you don't. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Those are beautiful cabinets. And I look forward to seeing photos of the beautiful fossils stored within them. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Tuff to beat display cabinets. A whole lot better than just shelving. Nice. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Those are very nice, I know you will put them to good use!

Bobby Rico Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Nice looking cabinet , going by the albino stegosaurus the cabinet is bigger than it looks in your photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 There are a lot of pieces I want to protect from the horid dust monsters that open shelves provide. My other two cabinets are accessed through the back which makes it a rather tedious task to get to. Both of the new ones are front opening and thus will make adding and switching out items so much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepTimeIsotopes Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Out in California, have you had much problem with earthquakes messing up your display cabinets?

It's not like we have serious earthquakes all the time. The last one here that did any actual shaking up was in 2003 and that was a fluke/ rare quake. Most quakes that happen are so mild they aren't even felt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly moreso than the majority of the U.S., though, being part of a tectonic plate boundary. We have them from time to time and have had stuff fall off shelves here. I was just curious if you had a bracing system that I might like to implement in my own shelves because I keep bumping into them and creating little simulated quakes with my fossils.
