This is a lighted display cabinet to hold 'Pandora' beads and bracelets. As many of these beads are made of silver, to prevent tarnishing the customer wanted it as airtight as possible. The back board has a gasket, the glass is sealed in place, and the door has a rubber weatherstrip around the circumference. The mirror is backed with black felt and can be reversed if desired. The LED strip has 186 LEDs and the power supply board has jumpers to allow for 6 levels of brightness.

While this project involved very little "carving", my CW did help a lot with cutting the slanted slots in the wood for holding the rods and bracelet hangers, and for cutting the slots in the hangers as well, which were made from black cast acrylic. It was also useful to rout the recess for the tiny circuit board.
