Military, Fire & Police have coins which identifies their units. These coins are collected by folks and they need ways to display them. A good friend and colleague of mine who was a firefighter just died of pancreatic cancer and before he died, he wanted to collect coins from every fire department in the world and wanted a rack to display them in the shape of a Maltese Cross, and that was my inspiration in making this project. Hand drawing the pattern was the first challenge, then routing a 1/4 slot in 1/2 quarter round was the next challenge. Gluing each shelf and staining the stripes take the most time.
