What this template builds for you

Display cabinets are the furniture serious collectors should build themselves — retail display cabinets are either too large for the wall or have wrong-height shelves for the actual collection.

This template takes per-shelf heights (figure shelf 25 cm, book shelf 32 cm, whisky shelf 35 cm), auto-lays out shelf positions. Glass-door dimensions auto-computed (exactly what the glass shop needs to quote you). Optional LED-strip channel routed in (back-lit display). Back panel: solid wood (warm), glass (see-through both sides), or mirrored (extends the perceived space).

Custom-built 60 × 40 × 180 cm glass display cabinets retail for $250–800. DIY material cost (wood + glass + LED) is $100–200. More importantly: your figure spacing, your bottle angles, everything dimensioned by you. When the collection rotates, you can modify rather than replace — that's the value of building it.

Who this template suits

✓ Recommended for

· Figure / model collectors
· Whisky / glassware collectors
· Antique collections

× Not for

· Need temperature / humidity control (that's electrical, not woodworking)
· Items > 5 kg each (need thicker shelves or center supports)
· Don't want LED reflections (LED is the main aesthetic value)

Parameters you can adjust

The algorithm auto-computes dimensions, joinery, and material usage.

When you'd build one

Figure display

Collection of 30 figures — custom-sized cabinet with LED per shelf.

Whisky

Whisky collection — glass doors + LED makes the bottles glow.

Antiques

Family antiques get dedicated display — glass doors stop dust, lighting elevates the pieces.

Studio gallery wall

Studio displays client work — a wall of display cabinets doubles as photo backdrop.

4 preset variations

Swap styles in one click — no need to re-adjust every parameter from scratch.

Glass + LED

Tempered-glass doors with rear LED strips — figures, whisky, or anything else photogenic.

Solid frame-and-panel doors

Wood-framed panel doors — calm, traditional feel; ideal for antique pottery or tea-ware.

Open shelving

No doors at all — easiest item access; pair with back-panel LED for impact.

Glass with mullion grid

Glass doors with wood mullions — classic library / study character.

FAQ

Where do I get the glass?+

Order from a local glass shop. Give them the template's dimensions (+ 2–3 mm allowance) and thickness (5 mm tempered is the standard). Around $25–60 per pane.

How do I wire the LED?+

Buy a 12V LED strip ($10–15 for 5m) + power supply ($6). Slide into the routed channel — no soldering needed.

Mirror back panel?+

Doubles the perceived collection. But mirrors reflect every speck of dust — you'll be cleaning often. Most builders pick solid wood for that reason.

Hinged vs sliding doors?+

Hinged is faster (just open and grab). Sliding saves space but every reach requires moving the door. For glass doors, magnetic catches (no lock hardware) are the simplest.

Panel thicknesses?+

Sides 18 mm minimum; > 100 cm tall, go 21 mm. Shelves under 40 cm span work at 15 mm; > 50 cm span need 18 mm+. Heavier collections push the thicker side.
