Right now whichever arm of mine or PPH's that isn't reaching into it Was going to put some lengths of Al on pivots but this box is only getting used at this show for now and I don't want to spend any more time on it. If we end up taking it about more often I'll put some more thought into it.

The really annoying thing about this box is that the glass topped aluminium cases you see at coin shows normally can be bought in the USA fairly easily for about $150 each. But they can't be had for love or money here in Australia so we were reduced to having something custom made based on drawing I did on a ratty bit of paper. Then all the effort we had to put into it to make it look presentable. Very annoying and a reminder of what a small market Australia really is.
