Re: Storm Window Display Shelf

I have some shelves made from some old windows in my store. I use some old pop bottle crates for "legs" and I have a pair of small shelves (two salvaged and repainted rectangular wooden boxes with a divider,basically) sandwiched between the windows on either side. (My store is snowed in for the season, otherwise I would snap a photo for you.)

You could use more pop or other wooden crates instead of the shelves between the windows. All are easily assembled and disassembled. You could even use the crates for packing your merchandise inside for the trip to and from the shows.

The caulking on old windows is often crumbly so you may want to recaulk them before carting them around or setting anything on them for display.
