Just thought I'd share some pics of my new pen display box

Been having a play in readiness of doing a craft fair. I've made a pen display box with a forward opening lid (to prevent those wanting to take them without paying). The lid is of acrylic and oak and you can see the fountain and rollerball pens. The drawer at the front holds the Sierra type pens. The large drawer at the back holds Slimlines and then a small draw at the rear top holds a single 'Pen Of The Day'

As everyone else some very fine workmanship, But I have one concern you made the lid so that for someone to look at a pen requires you to open it and show them which I can agree with in some areas but at the same time you have a draw at the front where someone can just pull it open and help themselves or have you got a secret locking mechanism to prevent this

Love the pen container wont fall over or get pushed around a design I have never seen the real thought behind it all displayed in another way. Lets know how you go with it. I do notice the pens are real close picking up not easy.

Peter.
