Stuart Lyon Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Tried searching for a previous thread on this with no luck. Has anyone found a reasonably priced display case for their brick? Please supply details of where the case was bought if you have. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes like that but that one is too big. I did look extensively at Amazon but couldn't find a suitable one hence my enquiry on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone found a reasonably priced display case for their brick? Please supply details of where the case was bought if you have. Thanks I've got mine sitting on the fireplace with the wee plaque resting on top of it. Gets a wee rub before I leave for games - not sure why, as it's not proven lucky in the slightest. Not sure why you'd need a case for it. It's a brick. It's hardly fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Stuart - Whatever display case you plump for please remember to keep security firmly in mind. This might help: http://www.human-detector.com/index.php/en/museums-en.html And finally, consider having all members of the family and your friends screened.

Mr Sifter Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I’ve got two and they’re used for various things around the garden. Keeping my gate open, resting wee barbecues on, pinning down the tarp I use to keep my bike protected, that sort of thing. I got them fully fully expecting to keep them in pristine nick, in a case on display somewhere. But since initially housing them oot in the back green, they’ve just sort of found roles for themselves. I’ve now come round to thinking that they’re more useful as actual bricks than they are displays. And they’re hardy as **** ?? ...and besides, they’re oot the back keeping my rusty auld four set of Tynie seats company ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durham Jambo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I got mine framed at Edinburgh Arts and Picture Framers on the corner of Nicholson Street and South College Street. Cost me £100 and it now sits proudly on the wall of my office. They'll almost certainly remember it as they had never had anyone ask to frame a brick before.

tian447 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I still can't believe so many of us rushed down to Tynecastle to pay £10 for a brick I love mine though, and the Gorgie canvas bag they came with was a great wee touch! It's just sitting on my desk, and I haven't thought of anything better to do with it yet! Might incorporate in into a garden feature at some point, with a maroon and white colour scheme but literally no idea what else to do with it. It's a brick!! It's still got quite a lot of concrete/mortar stuck to it which I would be keen to remove. If anyone had the same with theirs, and found an easy way to remove it without damaging the brick itself, I'd be keen to know how you did it!

eusabio Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Stuart, try going round second hand shops, or even better, join a craft class this autumn, many of which are run by the council. The instructor will help you to design it and also help at each stage of the construction. Think of the satisfaction of a unique cabinet made by yourself.
