Title: Ideas needed for Trumpet Display Case
Post by: Turkeycaller on November 04, 2015, 08:15:25 AM

I am going to be displaying my collection of Ivory Trumpet callers at The Unicoi Callmakers Show. I'm trying to figure out how to display them. I can buy a glass case and show them laying down or build a stand and secure them on a dowel. I would like it to handle about 50 calls and be enclosed in glass or plexiglass with access to take them out as an option.
Thanks,
Dave

I like the idea of having them on dowels. With the changes in humidity in the winter, laying them down may be asking for trouble.

Make a plexi glass case with a wooden bottom and a 3 tier step "Shelf" out of wood, with dowel pegs spaced  on each shelf. Make the lid also of Plexiglass and hinged so it can be raised for access . If you space the dowels , some 16 pegs on each surface, you should be able to get 48 trumpets or so in it without the box being too big or heavy to move . Make the lid hinged with the swing towards the viewing public, and a hasp could be fashioned on the back side for security purposes . Sounds like you are going to be well received at the show ! Have a great time !
