Hi,

    I am looking to have new jewelry showcases built, to take with me to
    trade shows and craft fairs. My old ones, which have served
    faithfully for the last 20 years or so, were Abstracta (a modular
    system like steel tinkertoys with glass clipped onto them), and I
    want to upgrade to something more elegant. I am thinking of cases
    made from wood (and glass, of course), but they still need to be
    fairly light-weight and be able to come apart quickly to pack into
    my minivan with the rest of the booth. 

    I have been studying other jeweler's cases to get ideas for how they
    can be built so that they come apart easily. In other words, I would
    come to the table with a lot of specific ideas about how the cases
    could be made, so it wouldn't be necessary to reinvent the wheel. 

    Does anyone know of a carpenter or company that they could recommend
    for this job? Naturally, someone who has done similar work in the
    past would be better able to understand the specialized needs of
    both jewelry cases and trade show displays (lightweight, breakdown
    quickly, pack away efficiently). I have seen too many instances of
    people upgrading to a fantastic new booth, only to abandon it soon
    after because it was too heavy, too big, or too time-consuming to
    set up. 

Thanks!

Amy
