fair point
the front panel at the bottom, is attached to another panel directly behind it, currently the same height, it could rise above the hinges, to form a guard, the hinge bolts will be a bit of a pain, but nothing to difficult to deal with...i'll have a think about that, was contemplating an acrylic guard behind the door aswell, in that case the bolts wouldnt be an issue, and the viewing ratio wouldnt be reduced
