Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to explain. I understand somewhat better. If you would share additional photos: that would be great!
I have understood that your horizontal wooden strips have an extenting part at the bottom so that it fits into the base grooves. I assume my milling the excess away.
Is it the same construction at the top?
I have seen in your photos that the glass is held in place by clip-skrews. I assume that the horizontal wooden strips at the top are only at the outside, to allow the sliding of the glass?
Did you need assistance for sliding in the big glass panels, because of the weight?
Thanks! Andre

Impressive case!
And so it happens: I will be needing to make one myself very soon.
What I wonder: do the glass panels go through the horiontal wooden frame parts into the grooves in the base? Or are your horizontal frame parts equipped with extending part to fit into the groove of the base?

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your further explanations!
I have now a good understanding of the principle of how you made the case. I am looking forward to your additional photos! No hurry from my side, because there is still a lockdown in my country, so I cannot buy materials...
I intend to make my case 102 cm by 35 cm wide and 75 cm height. I assume that this is close to your dimensions (and weight...).
