Finally complete and ready for delivery...
I found a source to replace the 50 year old decals. By the way, I have an extra decal sheet, so if anyone needs them, send me your name and address and I'll drop them in the mail.
The case is made of oak and clear acrylic sheet (0.093"). The size scared me a bit at first, but the canopy is surprisingly sturdy. The oak corner trim is non-structural to the canopy and completely cosmetic, affixed to the acrylic with a thin bead of clear silicone. The base piece is the heaviest piece. The finish is natural oak, with a few coats of satin polyurethane.
I really enjoyed this build.
Thanks for looking!
