Thinking about making one of these!

Has anybody built one of these> http://www.improvementscatalog.com/Parent.asp?product=212785x&dept%5Fid=1

It looks pretty straghtforward but I'm wondering what type of thing to build/use to hold the pictures? I think the back is probably some plywood type thing with a hinge. Ideas?

Try using the small maxi-view corners sold by United. (Part #U3983)

These frames can be easily built using Boxers with the short extenders or most any moulding onto which you can install a "door" moulding.

If you don't care to put hinges and a hasp/latch on the "door", hold it in place using the rare earth magnets and some strategically placed flat head wood screws such as I used on the shadowbox that held the fishing lures.

I'll try to find the link to the thread with that shadowbox for you.
