DIY Dave's Safe Lock Display

Here's a safe lock display that I built this afternoon from acrylic and some basic hardware. I photographed the whole process, so when I get time I'll post instructions. It's far from perfect, but it works. The next ones I build, I'll take more time and use a drill press for more accurate drilling.

Re: DIY Dave's Safe Lock Display

Quite nice, Dave. Like the adjustability. Think there may be issues without a frame to hold the acrylic plates perpendicular to each other and without any shifting.

With the bolts on each corner it's pretty solid. One problem I do have is that my holes at each corner aren't lined up quite perfect so it's slightly out of square and wobbles when it's on a flat surface

Remove the lock, secure the plates together with no space between using the bolts, and use a plane to shave off any unevenness on the bottom edge.
