    such a cool project. Simple and elegant. I always appreciate how you include other skill sets (leather, electricity, etc) into your woodworking. You integrate the different media so well. Keep 'em coming!

    Love this book! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

    Linn, I really like the look of this fixture. I was also thinking that if you wanted to have items that collect dust, you could put on smoked glass or acrylic doors to bring down the light level and still give you that wonderful shadow box look.
    Beautiful

    Very cool and useful project. I was gonna ask about any heat generated by the led lights, but you cleared it up. Reason I asked was to put an additional groove for a colored acrylic or glass sheet and possibly add a shadow land scape to it.

    As always Lin wonderful workmanship, love the way you use LED's always creative and practical. Personally I would prefer them as individual shelf as opposed to them on the board but that is a personal choice, keep up the good work Lin, always looking forward to your next video.

    at 4:59 brings back memories seeing you seal the heat shrink with a lighter. I am a Marine and worked on helicopters where we used same heat shrink material after fixing wiring issues except we were SUPPOSED to use a hot air gun to do the shrinking which required much more time in bringing out a generator all the way out to the flight line, big pain in the butt. So instead, everyone carried a BIC lighter, even the non-smokers. They were a tool commonly referred to as a "B1C" or a "Bravo One Charlie".

    Since I do a lot of commercial retail spaces, where LEDs are used quite often. I've made it a habit of using all the different varieties of aluminum extrusion tracks for LEDs. Some have covers, some angle the light or shield the light. I always include those into the build... but when I just need a small piece to show the client what I had in mind, I get 1 meter strips off of ebay. The nice thing about them, is that they act as heat sinks, and prolong the lifespan of the LEDs and I can tell the clients that there won't be a fire hazard when they are applied to the aluminum extrusions. No client says no to them after that.
    But for your shadow box build, I would have made it so the lights are way more recessed. So you don't see the strip of light, but it makes the back of the board light up evenly. Just recently did a build like this to showcase luxury purses in display window.

  • @TheSeancassady

    Great looking boxes, something you could do to mix up the lighting would be to put different colored paper over the lights to change the lighting in each box. Or even have multiple different colors in each box

    Very nicely done, I agree about covering the LED strip with paper, they can be bright without.

  • @aroundhomediy
    @aroundhomediy 7 років тому

    Very cool Linn! One option that I did with some arcade marquee lightboxes was to inset the back panel by 1/2" or 3/4" and run a french cleat across the top of the back panel to hang them on the wall (assuming they were wide enough to cross two studs). If you were okay with the boxes touching a bit you could still hide the wires, though I suppose you could also use small lengths of the fairy lights to connect the boxes. Hiding the wire to the DC adapter/outlet is still annoying unfortunately.

  • @tonibenzino
    @tonibenzino 6 років тому

    I love it 😍 I would paint the boxes and red for my media room !! Can you use like Phillips hue strips or others stripes to give it different colors?

  • @dreamkiss4u
    @dreamkiss4u 7 років тому +2

    nice project, you could have also used an RGB strip light with remote control to change to any theme light background for them plus lower the intensity of the brightness so you wont need to add the paper strips....plus with the small remote you wouldn't need to wire a switch since the remote would turn it off and on or do any color or brightness or even effects.

    Great build. Screw from the back to hide the screws in the box. Route a groove on the rear for the power cable and maybe use a more elegant switch. Love the idea and am going to make some as display boxes for my kids projects. Thanks for the inspiration. Oh, maybe use the multi coloured remote controlled led strips for more colours and effects, or maybe coloured plexiglass. Cheers Linn
