After getting the sheet metal for the shelves folded, they were ready for the next steps. This was a big part to get completed, and again, David was willing to help me out a few hours here and there after his workday. It all came together in the end, and here are some images of the process to get there!
All the ends are finish welded into the folded sheet metal, and finished for the next step.
All the mountig plates are drilled and ready to have the bolts welded in place.
The mounting plates are clamped and stitch welded into place.
Here is a closeup!
David had a blast to do some MIG welding again!
The two endpanels had to be clad with sheet metal. Here is the left end panel with some stitch welds along the bottom edge.
Here are the two visible edges all welded and ready for finish grinding.
David adding some welds to the backside of the sheet metal.
Here is the left end panel all done and again bolted to the display, just to make sure it still all fits together nicely.

Here is a closeup to show how the shelves are bolted to the display frames in the back.

The right end panel was clad with sheet metal on both sides.
Here is a view from the inside of the display. Everything will be disassembled and shipped to the powder coating company on Monday morning.
