Plans for making HO storage cabinets

Here's a description on how to build a wall display case based on the RIBBA picture frame from IKEA. In Norwegian, but with many pics:

Thanks, Svein. This sounds good too -- I'll check that site and print off the instructions.

Basically, the instructions are:

1) Buy RIBBA picture frame from IKEA
2) Open and take off front (aluminium and glass)
3) Gently pry off side frames (they are stapled from the rear of the back plate)
4) Replace side frames with 3" x .5" wood, add shelves made of same material. Glue and screw or nail or staple together.
5) Use putty, base coat of paint, then paint
6) Mount on wall
7) Hang front (aluminum and glass) up again

Looks nice as a display cabinet, but is not intended to be opened and closed to get stuff as you go - you have to lift off the front and put it down somewhere every time you want to get something from the shelf.
