I recently re-connected with a friend from almost 30 years ago. We found each other on facebook. I found out that he had seen some of my woodworking videos on youtube. He wanted to build a shadowbox picture frame for his mom for a Christmas gift. I thought it would be an excellent chance to get to hang out again after all those years, and revisit those old memories and share them with my family today.
My friend, Mike, is a lieutenant firefighter, as was his father before him. And his brother is a soldier in the Army. The gift for his mom will contain important keepsakes from their lives. Mike has a leather fire fighter’s helmet shield for him and his father, and a leather patch from his brother’s Army unit. He will put these together in a shadowbox picture frame along with a black and white photo of each of them. And he wanted to make it, so that the gift will have additional meaning.
We chose to use Black Cherry for the project. I helped Mike learn the basics of the woodworking tools, and him along with his son Chance, took to woodworking right away. And I think it turned out beautifully.
We used a raised panel router bit to cut out the picture frame molding. And we used an Incra Miter sled to cut the 45 degree angles. I mentioned in the video, that the sled is great if you want very precise angles of any measure, but if you simply want 45 degrees for picture frames, and boxes etc. then you should check out my Extreme Table Saw Sled video. It makes absolutely perfect flawless picture frames in seconds with no setup!

We used through dovetail joinery to hold the shadowbox. If you are looking for our highly detailed tutorial to learn how to cut these, check out this video:

Great job, as a Retired Deputy I have much respect for men and women who run into burning houses. Great people.
Hi Marc. Deputies deserve that same level of respect. Thank you for watching and commenting.
~James
What a nice tribute to your friends family, I'm sure that project will be cherished for years to come. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Dale!
You can't get anymore special than that for a Wife and Mother. Beautifully done.
I'm so glad to see the photo bomber arrive near the end.
Haha! Yes she did sneak in an appearance. She was in school all week.
Mark Twain said he would never let school interfere with his education. 😁
Awesome! I just retired a little over 2 years ago from a 35 year career as a Firefighter in California. Woodworking is relaxing for me. I think your friend will like it even better after he retires. I thank him, his father and brother for their service. Firefighter's, Cops and Military personnel are all family.
Hi Billy! I think he is starting to like woodworking as well. I will pass on your thanks to him and our family would like to thank you for your service as well. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. ~James
It's beautiful. Tell them i thank them for their services
Hi James I just watched your video of the shadow box for your friend the fire fighter.
I come from a family of fire fighters my farther was a fire fighter for 36 years retired chief and I think way you did for your friend was really nice of you.
My farther past away 2000 and I have all his badges and helmet .
James - Very nice project. I can see why you enjoyed it so much. I can relate to what you did. First of all I have reconnected with several friends via internet. Great memories! Also, my wife made shadow boxes. One for my mother, father, sister and another for her father. It is made with memorabilia that belonged to each person. I'm sure that Mike and his family will enjoy the shadow box for many years to come.
Hi Donald, thank you. And thank you so much for watching and commenting.
That shadow box is beautiful both the craftsmanship and the things within in.
Thank you very much!
Very nice! What good friends you are to work together to honor these heroes!
Those metal c clamp cabinet door handles are super clever!
Thank you!
This makes all of it just perfectly for the right the reasons.
Your feelings are coming over ..... lovely!
Thanks Alfred!
Another fine project Jims! I'm sure Mike and his family will enjoy that shadow box for years to come! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Bill! Thank you for watching.
Aha!!! This project was for what you used the 36 grit! Turned out really sharp and will make a great gift. Nice job James, feat. Mike!
Hi Adrian! The heavy grit is actually being used to shape another project that I have coming out in about a week. Thanks for watching. ~James
I think I saw a few more clues. Is it the headboard project?! I guess I'll just have to wait for the project video!
Very impressive display!
Another beautiful project, what a wonderful gift.
Hi Riaan! Thank you. It was a lot of fun to build too.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Really like that "French cleat" idea - very neat! Wonderful tribute
Great shadow box and a AWESOME back story to the video. Well done James and Mike...
Hi Robert. Thank you! It was a lot of fun to build too.
Great project brother . It was really nice that you helped an old friend out.🤗
Hi Jason. Thank you!
Dear James,
What a beautiful way to rekindle an old friendship. Every time this picture frame will be looked at will at the same time remind those of it's provenance & special significance. Very well done. Kind regards
How are you my friend? I haven't heard from you in a while. Once again, thank you for such a kind compliment.
Dear James,
Thank you very much for your hearted reply. I was away in Brussels (Belgium) for the best part of 3 months renovating my sister in law's flat. A lot of plumbing, electrical, flooring & redecorating was very much needed. It's good to see that you have made the decision to make instructional videos. As always a pleasure to learn & watch masters at their best. Kind regards to all.
Qué hermoso que los padres enseñen a sus hijos todo lo que saben, felicitaciones.
I do not have any family or friends to speak of so this was really neat to see.
Thank you very much for watching.
beautiful piece for beautiful memories! Great job, James and crew...
Hi Frank! Thanks! It was a lot of fun to build, too.
Great build and an awesome story to go with it.
Excellent video James, what a beautiful keepsake for your friend's mother. And of course your woodworking talent is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Felix! That is very kind. Thank you!
James.. You truly are a master craftsman.. Love all of your work and excellence to the projects that you take on.. This was an awesome build. I hope your friends mother will cherish this beautiful shadow box gift forever. Keep up with the great videos. Thank you
Hi Toby! Thank you for all of your kind comments!
Great work and tutorial.
I enjoyed that. Thanks.
Another great piece James, well done !
Thank you so much!
Outstanding video!! joe
Another superb build man!!!
Very cool to build special things for friends and family that’ll be treasured forever!!
This gives me a guideline to build a shadow box for a hockey stick I’ve always wanted behind glass.
Thank you!
Wow! That's great! Love your videos! I bet your friend was very happy and excited to have a professional like you for a friend to help with that!
Hi Andrew! Thank you! It was mostly just great fun for us to get to work together.
A special project that commemorates the service of Mike and his family with the help of a friend. What a wonderful gift for everyone!
I hope they do. Thank you for watching and commenting. ~James
It looks beautiful, also it's great how in this day and age it's so easy to find and reconnect with old friends.
17:57 spooky videobomb.
Yes, the internet can sometimes help us out. My daughter did sneak in one videobomb in at the end. Thank you for watching and commenting.
A great project and another fun video. Thank you for sharing. I very much enjoy your channel and look forward to future projects.
Hi Walter. Thank you! That is very kind.
Looks like a good time and an awesome project! Nicely done!
Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun.
I love your content so much I don't care how old they are, or if I have seen them before! You make awesome content!
Thank you! You are very kind.
Hi James .... I'm a fairly new subscriber to your channel .... and I really like the way you film your videos. Youre one of the better woodworkers on youtube ... and there are a lot of good ones. I bought your table saw sled plans a few days ago and they are great ... easy to read .. easy to understand ... and to the point ... and for that I thank you !!
Hi. Thank you so much for your kind comments. And thank you for getting plans, that helps support our channel. ~James
Great presentation. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Don. Thanks!
Really beautiful piece you made there!
Really cool Project !! Thank you for your service !!
Thank you!
That's a great looking project!
Thank you very much!
This is a beautiful shadow box. His mother will probably tell every house guest who comes over all about it and who made it for her; even if they have heard the story before.
There was some worry going on. I didn’t see your photobomber until 17:57. Glad to see she can still sneak them in.
Hi Steve. Thank you! Yes, my youngest daughter was in school for most of this build.
What a great way to reconnect to an old friend. Question, why the belt sander to flush the frame instead of a router trim bit?
Hi. Thank you! It was great. And, no reason really, I use both methods. In this case I already had the sander out from sanding the dovetails. Also, I have had a lot of practice with the belt sander. If you are new to the belt sander and not sure if you can keep it flat and flush a flush trim bit would be smarter and easier.
Beautiful. Very nice
Hi Franco! Thank you.
Great video 👍
Nice !!!!
Thanks!!!!
Project came out beautifully. Nice tight miters. Well done.
Not sure why you wouldn't have used a flush trim bit instead of all the belt sanding at 9:35
Thank you very much! I use belt sander half the time and the flush trim bit half the time. There is never tear out with a belt sander, so I probably use that a little more often.
Okay what did you do with James? Nowhere near a gallon of glue, that will never hold together hahaha. Looks great, glad you and your old friend reconnected.
Haha! Thanks Anthony. It was a lot of fun for us.
Awesome build!
Thank you!
Great project! I’ve learned a lot from your videos. You should build a farm table next!
Hi Jonathan! Thank you. I usually pick projects from my Patreon supporters requests, but this seems like a great idea.
I tip my hat to you sir.May I ask, why would anyone thumbs down this.
Hi Trevor! Thank you. And, as for thumbs down, I think everybody gets them, haha.
Hi James! That is a great project. I love the way it came out. Very special. Could you have also used a flush-trim bit and a router rather than a belt sander to even up the trim? I am just asking for any of my future projects.
Hi Brandon! Thank you very much! A flush trim router bit also works great. I use both.
Cool, I like it):@@@ Have friends have many inventions, new creations, publish many good videos.
Thank you very much!
Awesome
Great project. Simple to construct but very nice looking. Great gift for Mikes mother. I have a pet peeve to vent though. Why do folks say "pre drill"? Pre means "before". So in effect they are saying "before drill". The correct term to "drill a pilot hole".
Thank you, and you are right. That is a better way to say it. Thanks for watching!
~James
Very nice---
Thanks!
Very cool
Thank you!
Could you some time show how to make a large shadowbox display with a framed glass door that opens from the front?
New woodworker here enjoy your videos. Curious why rabbit wasn't cut on table saw prior to assembly. Is this the norm or just your method. Thks
Thanks. You can cut the rabbet on the table saw prior to the assembly, but you'll have to stop before it reaches the end of the board, otherwise there will be a gap on the side that will show through. But it is perfectly do-able. Thanks for watching and commenting!
~James
Great video...was wondering what speed setting you use for the raised panel bit...I have a Dewalt 618 router...will my router work with that bit?
Nice work
Thanks Patrick!
Great project. Any particular reason, other than preference, that you don't cut the rabbits on the tables before assembly ? Thanks
Hi Deb. Thanks. You can cut the rabbet on the table saw prior to the assembly, but you'll have to stop before it reaches the end of the board, otherwise there will be a gap on the side that will show through. But it is perfectly do-able. Thanks for watching and commenting!
~James
Thanks for the reply. I didn't think about the fact that it didn't go to the end. In that case, I guess the router would work best. In fact I just watched the dovetail drawer video, and you did use the tablesaw for those rabbets. Pleasure to watch you James. You are a great teacher.
Very nice craftsmanship. How did you attach the pictures to the back board? I am working on something similar for a 25th anniversary and a couple of the pictures have not been taken yet.
Curious why you chose a belt sander instead of a flush trim bit on a router to flush up the frame
Hi Alec, no reason really, I use both methods. In this case I already had the sander out from sanding the dovetails. Also, I have had a lot of practice with the belt sander. If you are new to the belt sander and not sure if you can keep it flat and flush a flush trim bit would be smarter and easier.
@@KingsFineWoodworking I call the belt sander "the angry man" of my shop. I always approach and use with caution.
Great video and awesome surprise for a friends mom. I watch a lot of your videos. You're very talented but why is the girl always on top of the table? So aggravating to watch.
Looks great as usual!
Is the spraying indoor not a problem for your tools/projects, (as well as the fumes)?
And, I am always curious, do you find that filming those projects actually slow you down?
Hi! Thank you. When we spray indoors we have two giant doors open and fans blowing air through so nothing really settles on any tools. The fumes, however, are very toxic and we must wear respirators. As for the filming, it makes the projects go about 4 times slower. Thanks for watching.
~James
superb....
Hello Ady! I haven't seen you around in a while. Good to have you back.
James could you cut the rabbit before you glue it up?. The shadow box I am building is 54” x 34’” I am afraid it would break since it is so big.
How did you attach the helmet shields to the wood panel?
Another off topic one, in other videos, what computer program do you use for design?
I use Google Sketchup for all of them.
King's Fine Woodworking awesome thank you!
Very nice James, as usual. Can I ask why, during the dry fit of the frame, in the background she is taking the plate off of the router. Do you only put it on for your dovetail jig? Or was there an issue? Just curious.
Hi Robert! Thank you. We use a different router base that holds the collet when I am cutting dovetails. And she was putting the standard router base back on it.
I was in the same unit as Mike's brother. 1-21 infantry. Bore brother bore
Awesome!!
Do you have a video using minimal tools...i dont have a planer or router 🤷♂️
My grandma has a shadow box
The woodworking is great but if those images are photographs they will become damaged over time due to the chemicals/micro insects in the wood itself.
