Bent Edge Cabinets

In the photo's here, you can get a sense of what bent acrylic construction entails. The long upper edges are actually bent and acrylic is affixed to the outside ends to complete a case. This involves heating the acrylic and using forms and jigs, creating the three sides of a case top. This works well with the routed edge oak bases used for mounting your models, as you can see. Some modelers asked for this effect, so Grandpa's Cabinets was eager to oblidge.

If you want this option used on your case, just specify on the quote request form. Please be aware, I am able to bend construct on cases where the overall length does not exceed 23". When a case is longer than that, constructed edges are required. Also, some modelers ask for very specific dimensions on their cases, and when this is the case, using the bent acrylic does not lend itself well to this because it's not always possible to hold the tolerances as tightly as with constructed cases.

I will always try to get as close to your specs as possible, but there will always be a little variation in the finished size of the inside of your case. However, the acrylic upper will always perfectly match the base no matter which option you choose.
