thank you!
I like the idea of using perma press sheets. The fabric is more tightly
woven and has a heavier hand than most yardage of comparable cost. This
makes it hang well.
I think NCLUG is going to have plexiglass clamped to the front lip on at
least 2 sides of the display. I think I see a plexiglass barrier on
portions of your display? If this is indeed what I see, is it screwed on?
If so it would be no problem to drill additional holes for push pins to go
through. Is this what your club did? I am trying to figure out to go about
attaching a skirt to the plexiglass if it were clamped on. Clamps would
bend the fabric up before it cold hang down? Perhaps we could pin the skirt
to the underside of the lip? However, I think attaching the skirt to the
front would look better, if some way could be found to do it. I haven't
seen the tables yet.....
Any further thoughts you have would be most welcome.
The pictures are quite useful. I like the attached shelves for the
regulators. I hope to have a chance to look at the whole index of them more
thoroughly this weekend.
