Charlie,
It looks Tres Cool as is. plus without a back you can keep an eye on what the customers are doing.

Looks nice Charlie, easy breakdown and storage, very sanitary display.

I wonder about things falling out the back, that's all. But yeah.. part of the
idea is to break down and store easily. I know shows can be a pain, trying
to move cabinets wouldn't be fun.. and there's only so much space you
can take up horizontally.. This stores pretty flat and can wrap in a sheet of
builder's paper or a small blanket.

Smoke grey plexiglass, provides a visual barrier from the front to allow your customer to focus on the pens and still allows you to see through it.

Why not make acrylic hinges? They are pretty straight forward in wood and i think easier in acrylic.

probably true.. but I've seen pin hinges (which I can't make) that were
only a couple of dollars.. I'd spend hours trying to make them.
I like the smoke idea..

Thanks peeples..
Jerry.. that worked out nicely. Making shaped keychains.. but I was
reminded to test each unmarked strip first. Some of them burst
into flames.
Those hinges look like just what I need, except for the minimum!

Charlie, Your problem is that you should be in bed at 6:30AM, of course that is my time but still too early. :biggrin:

Good hits on the hinges, thanks! I'd found them, but shipping can be
a bit steep for only an item or to .. need to wait till I can put together
a decent order. Plus, I'd like to get the type of hinge that allows you
to just lower the panel/hinge into the socket. (I forget the name of that
type .. flag hinge, maybe?)
ps .. Jeff .. I'm trying to figure a way to do that right now. The one I
made was meant to stand on a table (for shows and such) but I got
a call to make one to mount on a wall .. that should need a back panel.
So .. how to attach it? I'm working on it..
