Right now whichever arm of mine or PPH's that isn't reaching into it Smile Was going to put some lengths of Al on pivots but this box is only getting used at this show for now and I don't want to spend any more time on it. If we end up taking it about more often I'll put some more thought into it.

The really annoying thing about this box is that the glass topped aluminium cases you see at coin shows normally can be bought in the USA fairly easily for about $150 each. But they can't be had for love or money here in Australia so we were reduced to having something custom made based on drawing I did on a ratty bit of paper. Then all the effort we had to put into it to make it look presentable. Very annoying and a reminder of what a small market Australia really is.

best not to have a hinge
that way - you have to hold it open for the customer and then you have to close it and lock it

and anyways
I think it looks classy and non-aluminium ísh
bet it smells nice too!
Well, we're here at the show and it's a lot busier than it was when we were here (as show attendees rather than stall holders) last year.
Due to the wonders of modern technology you can see what the view from our table looks like!
