Amazing series of tutorials! I have been searching for an appealing display everywhere and I just haven’t been able to find something that I love. Great job, very thorough and detailed and super helpful!

Very welcome! Best of luck on your build 😄

[@MidoriTheAwesome]

I've been super out of luck trying to get the billy bookcase with oxberg doors and I think this may be my solution! I was really worried about trying to work with glass so I'm super excited to work with acrylic instead. I'm going to use this to put a door on basically any decent bookshelf I can find. Thanks so much for the detailed video, it helps a lot for people like me who don't know what they are getting in to:)

[@jorsm.3893]

I was planning to make acrylic displays, but in an existing bookcase and I wanted to only cover partial shelves with it to create display zones alternated with book/manga zones. I found so little information about what thickness is good for what, so I am really glad to see you use this

[@gsmooth116]

first I have to say I really enjoyed how you broke it down as describing what materials are needed..secondly..I have the besta cabinets from ikea..and I have the same issues..with dust..getting on my collectibles..and wanted a glass cabinets doors for protection without taking away the details..and your video is exactly what i envisioned..thank you..for posting your video..

[@BAMCollectibles]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all that! It was my goal and all this to help collectors and it always feels so worthwhile to hear that it’s truly helping people solve some of these problems. I wish you all the best in doing this upgrade and hope it turns out perfect!

[@scott6031]

Great Video, thanks for the walkthrough. Exactly what I’m looking to do on the bookcase I keep my retro games on. Same reason because there is now a little one crawling around the house. One quick suggestion. You may want to use the wood screws on the side of the hinge that connects to the cabinet instead of the machine screw. Use a drill bit smaller than the screw and the wood screws with the wider teeth will bite into the material. Thanks again!

[@karwankarwanko6603]

Awesome dude! I am watching this from europe, i love this diy series, i just into retro game collecting and nostalgia. I was looking for ideas like this, it would be awesome if you made more of these videos.

So welcome!! Hope you’re able to build and accomplish your goal with these tips. Cheers!

[@shaughnlandauer7140]

Great video and help to the community. I used the same hinges a couple years ago on the larger Pax and they are still holding strong today. 3 hinges per sheet. Only thing I would add to this is if you dont have a dremel tool or dont want to drill yourself, for being too afraid of cracking the sheet, you can have the plastics company drill the holes and the semi-circle for you. No extra cost and if they mess up, you get a new sheet.

[@BAMCollectibles]

Thanks for the input man! Glad they're still holding up strong as I've had the same experience. Your plastics company was nicer than mine haha, they wanted to charge me for that so I took matters into my own hands, glad I did 4 doors later haha

[@justinclarke2204]

Hi Shaughn, did you use just a 1 PC sheet for the door on the larger width 39" pax? If so what was your overall measurement and does it hold well. Debating on 1 or double door @ 19.5". Thanks

[@bojackkatarn]

Thanks a lot for making these videos, especially this one and the reinforced shelves one. Followed your instructions to the letter and still managed to mess up quite a bit with the hinge positioning when drilling holes. But that's alright lol. Still worked out in the end. One thing I thought I would share is I had some issues with the acrylic closing all the way. It might be because I only have 3 hinges for a ~37" wide door. In any case, I just added some adhesive magnets on the acrylic/Pax and that did the trick. I also added an adhesive pull handle. It was a little ugly but I can tolerate it.

[@Macn360]

Same mine would close all the way as well

[@kinghoti1]

Very helpful thank you for your time and info.

[@BAMCollectibles]

[@BAMCollectibles]

Awesome man! Happy I can provide it for you. I'll be releasing my part 3 in a few weeks that will actually feature building and customizing one of the larger 39" PAX units and how to reinforce shelves as those are wider and more prone to bowing over time. Thanks for the sub and hope that video helps as well. Cheers!

[@badman7996]

BAM Collectibles yes please!! Can’t wait!

[@badman7996]

BAM Collectibles Hey BAM!....where my part 3?!🤣🤣 Anxiously waitin!

[@badman7996]

Hey Bam.... what’s your thoughts on 1/4 vs 3/16 for the thickness of the acrylic after using them both?

[@mxtyy4422]

Like!! Epic bro!!!

[@sethv.1349]

Here's a follow up on some durability concerns. The holes drilled into the acrylic need to be wide enough for the baseplate to come all the way through with its' plastic buffer, not just the screws. You'll need a larger bit than 3/16" for this. The plastic pieces are meant to sandwich the acrylic rather than putting all the pressure on the screw holes themselves, which over time will increase the risk of the acrylic cracking. According to the instructions, the minimum width of your glass or acrylic needs to be 5mm for these particular hinges to properly sandwich. 3/16 (.1875) inches is only 4.7mm, so go with the 1/4 inch thickness.

[@grea._.5207]

What size bit would you need to use then?

[@interlink8813]

Awesome video thanks for posting. You got yourself a new sub. Keep up the great content.

BAM Collectibles yes its Perfect! One Last question; what is the thickness of the door you use in Millimeter? Looking forward to See the Last Part 💪

[@BAMCollectibles]

6.35mm is what .25inch converts to (^_^) Anywhere around 5-6mm should be very much sturdy enough.

[@bigkreativ]

BAM Collectibles thanks 😍

[@alex42884]

Use a hairdryer or heatgun (carefully) to heat the acrylic brown protective layer as you peel it off. It makes it way easier to remove and it'll come off in one piece. Like butter. 😉

[@BAMCollectibles]

AWESOME advice man! Thank you so much for sharing that. I'll have to use that when I make an updated video for the process.

[@alex42884]

@@BAMCollectibles For sure man. I also use #6 3/4" screws with #6 washers for the back panel. They don't rip out if you move the Pax around like the nails will. 👍

[@CazadorFiguras]

😱 INCREDIBLE MAN. I will go for the PAX and follow your tutorials the day I need more space. Questions: how resistant is that material to scratches? How they weight? Have you consider glass instead of that material?

[@Tyler-bk4tj]

It does scratch fairly easily but scratches can also can be polished out super easy with a plastic polish kit one runs about $20 on Amazon

[@BAMCollectibles]

Thanks bro!! If you recall in my first video there’s a small portion where my daughter is hitting the sheet of acrylic with a plastic sword. Even with that action she didn’t make a scratch on it. But as the other person said even if it gets scratched there are solutions out there to buffer out anything to make it look new or close to. Weight wise I’d say they’re 20-25 lbs each. I would absolutely never consider glass for my cases. Because I have a child and she can get crazy with toys I don’t want they risk in my home. I’d have to say after owning them as well...even if I didn’t have a child I’d go for Acrylic doors over glass to save money and have more durability. Hope this helps man!

[@Bl4ckC0re]

Very nice! Thanks for Share! How do you Open the door ? Do you have installed a handle yet? Another question is the size.. did you used 75 cm ?

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Thanks for the video. Going to be doing this for my sons collection of figures. These hinges though. Wooowee!! Are 50 a pop on the brands sight😮

[@bshthrasher]

You obviously didn't know, so I have to make a note here. 17:34 The screws with small threads are for metal with threaded holes, they won't hold long in the wood. Screws with bigger and more spaced out threads are for wood, especially the pointed ones. Better replace the screws if your door didn't fall off yet)

[@BAMCollectibles]

New news to me!! Thankfully they’ve held on well for 3 years now with no issues or anything becoming lose yet. I’m in process of making an updated video so this will be great info to have. Thanks for sharing so I can rectify that for others next video.

[@AzraelThanatos]

If you want to make the edges of the acrylic look better, you can use a quick pass with a blow torch to get them clear for you. And from a friend who had bought some old display cases from stores to refurbish, one thing you can also do is get some of the thin acrylic cement and put a few drips on the interior of the holes you put in for screws before putting them in and you'll have a more secure piece in the end. his weren't just held up by the hinges though...and the cases were the type you see in jewelery stores that are waist high, and the glass was damaged when they got pulled out of wherever they had been and he has a fossil collection in them...he replaced the glass with a heavy acrylic for the exterior and the shelves...along with added a few extra shelves, and while it doesn't fuse the acrylic like the glue does between sheets, it semi-melts it enough that it fills in around the screw enough that it's far more sturdy.

[@hectorreyesLIVE]

I’m X-men all the way, been using bestas but planning to go with pax next year when the collection has grown enough

[@BAMCollectibles]

Awesome Hector!! I can’t tell you how tempting they sounds to have an all X-men display. My wife and brother have had to talk me off the ledge from getting a Gambit statue haha You won’t regret it hour with a PAX. My next part 3 video will be using a wider case which may be better so stay tuned and stay subbed if you haven’t already. Cheers mate!

[@outlet6989]

Very informative video. I wanted two cases for my WW2 military vehicle collection. Went online and found they wanted $2000 per case. Your video encouraged me to build my own. I plan to make a video of this build. Please wish me luck. Here are a few suggestions. When drilling two pieces of wood, I clamp them together. To get the right depth when I drill, I use a tool called a depth gauge. After deciding where I want to drill a hole, I use a smaller drill bit to make a pilot hole. The particleboard is not solid enough if you plan to place heavy objects in the case. If you have the items you want to put in the display case, I suggest you weigh them; using a bathroom scale. Nice to know just how much weight you are dealing with. My comment is only how I do things. Your mileage may vary.

[@VicariousBrixtress]

Mahalo nui for this video! Your presentation is thorough and easy to follow. Do you find the doors to make your cases not only toddler- but also dust-proof?

[@BaldyBoi18]

im gonna try this with smaller display cabinet first.

[@BAMCollectibles]

Sounds like a great idea! I would love to see how that turns out if you want to reach out to me on my social media. Also you should be able to get away with cheaper hinges as well since these are made for heavy duty cases.

[@axe2307]

First of all, awesome video!!! Unfortunately I have not gone thru all the comments but how good is the fit on the opposite side of the hinges? I got a lot of dust inside some displays I made myself based on the baseball bat model for funkos. Any ideas on how to get it airtight? Thanks.

Hi! Which Hinges you have used?

[@skillspow3r730]

Hello great Tutorial !!! Question: how much was each acrylic Sheet?

[@generalszabo]

Hi, thank you for the informative video. If I was doing this for custom acrylic doors for a Besta, which will be individual cubes 60x64cm, would you recommend the same hinges? It will be basically like your set up but the acrylic is cut into 3, thank you

[@BAMCollectibles]

Yup that sounds like it would work really great! Really hope the videos helps you out in your project.

[@hthundar]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing! One of your wardrobe displays has a mirrored backing. How did you do that?

[@BAMCollectibles]

Hey Greg! That’s actually my first ever display case that I bought from a store at a mall that was closing down. Looks very similar to my PAX but it has hardly no depth to it and that mirror. So sadly it came like that and nothing I did. If I wanted to do that I’m sure you can contact someone that makes glass/Mirrors to have s large sheet cut for you and glue it to the back of the PAX. Hope this helps man! Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

[@rickyparker2900]

For the hinges: Did you get the inset glass to wood door or the overlay glass to wood door?

[@ni9ghthawk117]

Love the video its helped alot with my shelf. One question, do you have any recommendations on dust proofing with this set up?

[@nkane81]

Seems like you could drill a slightly larger hole in acrylic and the front facing piece of the hinge would recess into the sheet.

[@BAMCollectibles]

Fantastic observation man! I actually had to do that for a hinge off camera with a larger drill but and it worked pretty nicely. Not a game changer but definitely a very helpful tip. Thanks!!

Ditto. Noticed that at 14:34.

[@jepdizon8415]

[@BAMCollectibles]

Happy to be that for everyone! Did you ever get a chance to build one?

[@paulbutkiewicz776]

Just use a metal bottom plate for the shelves like aluminum or a thin steel, should help lighting the displays aswell since its reflective.

[@TheIncredibleHim]

Do you have a video for the larger display on the left with the mirror backing? I collect 1:4 scale pieces and I prefer to have mirror backing. Any advice would be great

[@andylawler3207]

Have 7 on the way and using your vid as a guide. Great stuff! Question about the hinges.. you got the overlay ones correct? The way it's looking I think I'd have to cut the shelves if I went with inlay.

[@BAMCollectibles]

Not as familiar with inlay but I do believe the shelves would have to be trimmed in order for those to work.

How did you measure what size acrylic sheet you needed? I’m getting the ikea Lappland and want to install a door like this!

[@jonathan21151]

Do you think a ticker sheet will be more easy to control when opening and closing ? If a magnet was to be placed where would you think it will be best at ?

[@BAMCollectibles]

If you have the funds I would definitely go with the ticket 1/4" as it's more sturdy feeling and less flimsy. Not to say that 3/16" doesn't workm but after owning both I'd spend the extra for 1/4". If I decide to add a magnet I would line it up with where my shelves are at so it would hopefully blend in well. I will do some testing and report back on video 3 for sure. If you find out any info yourself please feel free to share (^_^)/

[@brunoaugustocaixetabarbosa9694]

Hi, first of all it is amazing the work that you did on this. How much do you estimate you spent with all these add-ons? for just one piece of furniture from ikea? Another question, have you ever use the model Detolf from Ikea to build a display? Couldn't find any tutorial on your channel, do you know any good tutorial you can recommend?

[@ginioguzman2429]

I would say over $400 with cabinet frame, extra shelves, arcylic door, lighting LEDs, hinges and screws and tools for cutting+ miscellaneous materials, I'm in the process of making one

Hi thank u for the great info. I was wondering on the acrylic door. Whats the thickness u r using? And how do i measure the door? Exactly same measure as the pax ill be getting? Also, i know pricing will be different by store and location I'll be using but just wondering how much it cost you for the doors. Thank u a lot!

[@BAMCollectibles]

Hey there! At 3 min and 20 seconds in I did provide the exactly measurements used for this size PAX. Hopefully that helps and feel free to ask for any further clarification. If you can afford I would recomend the 1/4" thick over the 3/16" but so far both work fine for me.

I have a couple questions. I have cabinets that are thinner than yours and mounted to a wall. In a couple instances my statue bases might hang over the edge by like half an inch, does this sit essentially flush with the cabinet? Also, would those hinges fit a single sheet of 1/8th inch acrylic? Thank you!

Is the acrylic door fitting inside the display case? It looks like it in the video but were lacking a close up. I just need to know so I can take measurements for my acrylic door.

Nice video, cool hinges and acrylic panels/doors. So these are the IKEA Pax wardrobe units you’re using as shelving units correct?

[@BAMCollectibles]

Thanks so much! You got that correct, just a frame from their pax line with some modifications to transform it into a display case 😁

[@marcs4504]

Your videos are awesome and have inspired me to modify a few of these Pax shelves myself! A few quick questions for you: 1) how is the 3/8" acrylic holding up over time? the price on acrylic has gone up significantly and I would like to use 3/8" if you haven't had any issues 2) how much dust accumulates in the cases with the acrylic? 3) Any ideas of where to find LEDs for the 29.5" Pax? Thank you!

[@BAMCollectibles]

Yea it’s definitely gone up because of demand for acrylic blockers at businesses to keep customers distant from workers. 1. Holding up perfectly, no bends or bows in it. 2. I only have to dust like once mayybeeee twice a year 3. LED consumers sadly change all the time. What works once month may not another. You’ll have so personal research to likely find some. Best of luck and cheers man!

Does this setup keep out dust pretty well?

[@maximcuros2648]

Why the hell would I ever watch this video at 3 AM,hell,I don'teven have a house of mine! Yet there i am,watching this vid

[@Funko4all]

I probably missed it but is the case dust proof when closed or is the side with the hinges revealing/open?

[@BAMCollectibles]

It’s not 100% dust proof as it’s not sealed but I only need to dust every 1-2 years, even then it’s such a small layer of dust. I’m sure if you got measurement a tad tighter you could 100% dust proof it.

I was looking up the size of a few of my sadly still boxed figures (First4figures and a bunch of GAC ones) , and right there on the page was the video I needed. I do have one question if it's not too much of a bother: I'm from Europe and since we use cm I converted your measurements (193,675 and 71,12 cm). Now since these are "weirder" numbers, I was wondering how much leeway there is on the doors. Would it be better to get the exact measurements or could I shave off the few millimeters. Also am I correct in assuming the door rests against the display case and not in it?

[@BAMCollectibles]

Cpt Ragnarok Happy you found it! It rest on it and not in it for sure. Those CM conversions do seem a bit off, maybe try an online converter tool? Also shaving some off would be very difficult to do in a clean way without a professional large acrylic blade table saw.

@@BAMCollectibles Hey man, thanks for the reply! Oh sorry, I should specified, the conversions were from online tools. I've double checked with a few tools and outside of rounding (193,68 as opposed to 193,675), they seem to match. If I were to get plates made, should I go with these measurements or could I get away with rounding down to the nearest 0,5 up or down? It might not be an exact science but I'm neurotic that way.

Cpt Ragnarok I would 100% recommend messing things yourself to anyone honestly. If you have the PAX unit or whatever you’re trying to mount a door to just measure it. I cut mine so that it perfectly covered the inner part of the case and not the outside of it, or the frame of the case and it’s always worked out for me.

Where did you get your shirt from? It looks amazing.

Since you did the 3/16” and 1/4” door which one do you prefer ?

[@Isabelle-Hermes]

Thanks you for sharing your video, may I ask do Home Depot sale Acrylic sheet ?

[@BAMCollectibles]

You're welcome! Sadly I do not know about if they sell it or not...

[@RozArialind]

I used an arduino thingamajig to open it when I swipe an rfid card that came with a kit. or smash it with a hammer. either way.

[@MBZS500]

Do you do anything for edges of the acrylic? Is it sharp?

[@Eliasabouhala]

What was the best door, 1/4 or 3/16?

[@sweettacoboy492]

Shot in the dark here, Would .125 be good for thickness to save on cost? Is it possible to get by with cheaper hinges like a regular glass door hinge that needs no drilling (clamp type I guess) if it's a thinner sheet?

[@BAMCollectibles]

Can’t vouch for any of the above but I’d LOVE to hear your experience if you do try. Would sound like a massive cost savings if it works out.

i like it but how can i get more shelfs? for my 1:18 scale cars!

[@wasemmalallah83]

Loved your video. A fellow collector recommeded this to me as I'm looking to get a PAX case and add acrylic doors. I would love to find out where you got those hinges, if they are still available. They are perfect!

[@bedhead-tb4qg]

should add some magnets to the bottoms of the middle shelves to give it a nice closing click

[@michaelstallwood9715]

Hi mate just a question will these hinges work Pair Of Hafele 170° Glass Door Hinges, Without Glass Drilling, Inset Mounting ?

[@ericshea68]

I see different types of acrylic sheets. I see Plexiglass sheet-Cast and Plexiglass sheet-Extruded. Which one do you recommend? Thanks

[@jackofnowhere]

If i don't want to drill into the acrylic , can i just use some 3M command seals for attaching hinge to acrylic? Those things are rated for about 10lbs per strip. So with 3,that's like 30lbs.

I have the same Cabinets I just used magnetic tape on 3mm Perspex which cost me $10 and took 5 mins no drilling or sawing, doors hold well and also air seal so no dust , easy and cheaper

hi i am new to the display cases and i have a lot 1/8 scale statues i wanted ask if u have any measurement recommendations . PS ; a move from time to time ;)

[@BAMCollectibles]

Hey there and welcome to the channel! I swear by PAX display cases being the BEST for 1/8 scale statues. The depth the offer is perfect for them. In regards to you moving frequently they are a bit difficult to travel with but I'm sure you can work it out. Depending on your statues you may want to get a 29" wide PAX or a 39" wide PAX. All the best and I wish you great success (^_^)
