Years ago I made up a box for photographing guns but I used external lighting. I used "non-glare" glass like you find in a lot of picture frames and easily available. It eliminates the light reflection on the glass but still gives the "floating" effect. Now I just shoot the pics on a cloth or craft foam background and adjust the lighting to reduce shadows, usually by shooting outdoors on a partly cloudy day.
