Oak display case

christ you didn't tell us you had to make the cabinet underneath too for the same price ;D ;D
actually looks better in real life, bet after you'd paid your mates you lost money.

no way you'd get me to stand around holding that whilst you
had a screw against the wall

actually after i had fixed my woodrat to the wall i felt the same about it falling over which is why i rustled up a quick base cabinet

looks nice though

I know you're more relaxed over here, but really....

Nice job Jason

Don't think Gallows are the answer Jason unless they start from the floor.

Yes thats what i was thinking Dom , starting from the floor . Those legs in the pic make it look crap

[engineerone]

i reckon you need a couple of "h" frames at each end,
but i wonder whether you will need a support in the
middle
maybe you will need a curved underframe.

Paul i'm not worried about the structure of the unit , i'm more worried about it pulling the wall down

[engineerone]

just how i felt about my rat station., thought that was not to steady on the wall either.

maybe you could organise something to stand on the sideboard underneath.

looks nice though

Rather than try to put legs on how about making a slim panel to fit against the wall to fit underneath it. Like a floor to cabinet base batten.

Most of the weight is acting in a vertical plane, by battening it the screws only have to stop it falling forward.

Worked for me last Thursday when I fitted a 2 man lift MDF cupboard to a breeze block wall, and I've not been called back..yet!!

FWIW I think that's too cheap as well.
