Skil 3/8 Roundover Bit 91002 amzn.to/2vXwZ1q
DeWalt Cordless Drill DCD771C2 20v amzn.to/2xgCmK7
DeWalt Table Saw DW745 amzn.to/2BQnXRr

DeWalt Orbital Sander 20v amzn.to/3kbDepo
OPTIONAL but you can do without.
Dremel kit amzn.to/2DSYY1t
Irwin Trigger Clamps amzn.to/2DWxd89
DeWalt 18 Gauge Cordless Brad nailer DCN680D1 20v amzn.to/3Cct3qw
DeWalt Jig Saw 20v amzn.to/2X1WvRb
DeWalt Circular Saw Tool Only amzn.to/3mFqK9v
In this video I will create two standard shadow boxes. One will be made of Oak and the other of Mahogany. I will be placing a cutlass through the Mahogany box so the size will differ just a bit. (21x21x3.5) These are easy to make and are a fraction of the cost if you buy one from the store. I will only show the making of the Oak box unless there is a difference in the process. Thanks for watching.

I want to make one with a luger and 1911 that were both brought home...each facing one another....along with some patches and other paraphernalia. My Grandfather is gone, but he is not forgotten. Yours looks absolutely beautiful, well done.
That sounds really cool. Would love to see pics when you are done.
Thanks for your videos! I recently retired after 25yrs in the Sheriffs Department and was searching for ideas. Mine came out pretty good, and your tutorial is a big reason! Keep creating these vids!
Eric, Thanks for the nice comment. And thanks for your service to the community.
Wanted to say thank you, I followed your video and was able to make one for a fellow Cheif who is retiring. Great video.
Glad to hear... would love a pic to post on my FB page if you have the time. Thanks Jon
Beautifully done and a wonderful tribute to the dedication of a member of the armed services. Thank you for the video.
+KSFWG thanks for your kind comment. And thanks for your support to our service members. Jon

Artie, thanks for the compliment. I too did 28 years, but in the Navy. It was not just a job it was an adventure. I have a Face Book site (jon's DIY) where you can post pics when your done would love to see them. I still don't have a shadow box either. Lol, Thanks Jon

Very good job Jon!
This is an awesome video. I just bought my first table saw last week and this video is loaded with tips and tricks on how to use a table saw. Thanks.
Ed, glad I could help. Hit that subscribe button. And there are plenty more tips and tricks in all my videos. Thanks, Jon
Wow I like this box too, I commented on your other shadow box. I would love one like this but more of a rectangle with the flag left corner with that measurement being the height of the box and the length being long. I have a picture of him a certificate and his one medal that I would like to Incase in the box. Awesome video and thanks for your dedication to us all!
Great tutorial!
Thanks Jacob!
Also, that is a great idea about just using velcro. I wished I thought of that.
great video I am going to try to make one however I am going to use box joints on the ends. I am really bad to do the 45*, as I do not use a table saw a chop saw or Bandsaw. I have made basic shadow boxes before out of pine , but I want to make some military ones now for a flag as well. I also have made some Military challenge coin holders. Thank you for your service and amazing videos. Woodworker from NH
Jon, I finally finished the shadow boxes. I am pleased how they turned out. Thanks for posting your You Tube tutorial on them. I sent you an email, John
Thanks for this video! I have been looking for some good information. This one is perfect!! Great work!
Well done
Thanks John!
Great Job!
Very detailed and helpful tutt thanks!!
Great video....your router bit is called a Roman Ogee bit not a round over bit.
Yes you are correct. Good to know people really listen to me. I always get the feeling they don’t pay attention and just watch the video. And I’m wasting my breath. Thanks for the comment.
I need to build one of these for my military service. Right now i have a cheap store bought box.
Make sure you use mahogany or oak. This makes a strong beautiful box. Would love to see a pic when your done. Jon's DIY on FB.
Will do. Do you have an email address i could send it to? I will most likely start building it next week.

Can you provide exactly what you use for the backing to stick the items too.
I think you need to watch a few more times.

Hi Jon, great video! How did you get the sword to stop where it's at instead of sliding down. You had mentioned keeping the extra width (3") could you elaborate?
Hello Jon,
I was wondering what brand of plexiglass do you use, and what is the thickness? I ask because I had recently purchased some and it seems fairly flimsy, the plexi you had used doesnt seem as flimsy. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your vids!!
Great video on how to make one. You make it look easy. The flag portion is that for a standard burial flag?
Not sure of the dimensions of a burial flag, but this was a standard retirement flag which is 4x6. Thanks for the positive feedback!
Great video. What does Michaels call the backer board you used for the medal mounting?
+Jeremy Stahl Ans: Elmer's white foam board.
Thanks!
That’s an Ogee router bit, not a 3/8 R/O. Otherwise great project. Made one for my buddy interred at Arlington.
Its also labeled this in my router bit box holder. Same thing when I google it. www.homedepot.com/p/DIABLO-3-8-in-Radius-Rounding-Over-Router-Bit-DR34114/202563343
Hi Jon, I am actually working on the shadow boxes today. I cut the plexiglass wrong so I am in Menards getting some now. By the way what thickness do you normally use? Is it .080 or .100? And regarding color of felt for scouts. I will be using a Navy blue for my son's Cub Scout years and a off green (not sure exactly the name of it right now) for his Boy Scout years. You may want to Google Boy Scout colors. John
+John since this was your idea, I am kinda making one for you as well. So if yours does not come out just the way you want it I will send you the one that I put the blue felt on. Its pretty thin and I am using glass this time.Thanks for the Idea. Jon
Great video sir. May I ask what kind and where do u purchase your plexiglass? Thanks
I buy my Plexiglas from Home Depot. Not sure of the name brand, I get what ever they have that will fit the project.
@@JONSDIY Hi great video. I bought some plexi for a shadow box but the picture is blurry unless it is right against the plexi, which defeats the object. Is there a specific type of plexi that doesnt blur if theres a gap between it and art?
@@nicksullivan8075 the plexi has a thin layer of plastic to protect it while cutting. Pull off the plastic layer and you will no longer even see the plexiglass.
Do you have a tutorial for making a round shadow box?
yes, will be posting in a few days. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=852023430263965&set=pb.100063689467572.-2207520000
Very nice work. I enjoyed this. As a side note, gloves can be a danger; at least closed the Velcro straps so they don't get caught in you blades and bits!
Dennis, Yes you are correct. I have been chastised many times for that. This video is over 2 years old. I no longer wear gloves when cutting. You can check out any of my other videos and I have corrected this error. Thanks for your comment. Jon
What type of felt do you use?
I buy Creatology basic felt. Usually at Michales arts and crafts
amzn.to/3uIrlLQ
You have inspired me to make a shadow box for my nephew who recently retired from the Air Force. Mine will be walnut but in the video you said you used a 3/8" roundover for the outer edge but it looks more like an ogee. Can you clarify, please?
Yes you are correct. An Ogee 3/8
How do you guarantee the full medals stay in place? I'm building a custom box for a fallen brother and presenting this to his Father and I don't want items to come off the board.
If the Medals are mounted like they would be for pinning to your chest (push bar) and you use the foam board you will see once you put them in that they don't come out to easy. A few times I didn't push them in perfectly even and when pulling them out to correct, I almost broke the rack. That's how good they hold. You can always put a bead of Elmer's glue behind the rack for extra support. But trust me, once pressed in, they don't come out. As they are hanging freely, I always tell the owners to never lay the box on its face. Not in fear of them coming out but the fear of the medals scratching the inside of the plexiglass or glass.
Thanks. But it doesn't make my concern go away. Would you consider bending the prongs downward to help?
No, but for the officer emblems which are just large screw on the back. I push slighly on the foam board to make a mark. Then take a small phillips screw driver and make a more defined hole. then fill it with Elmers glue and place the emblem back in the holes. This could be done for the medals as well. But I recommend you run a test to ease your mind. Grab a small piece of your foam board and stick a medal rack on it. You can use the one that you will use for the box, (before you place the felt on) then shake it and you will see what I mean. I have never had anyone tell me that any pieces in there shadow box have come loose. But I do worry about the large black plaques. They come to me complete with double sided tape. I often wonder if someday it will dry out and the plaques would come loose. Hope these tests will ease your concern. Thanks for your comments. Jon
Oh yeah. Bending the prongs makes them very weak. They will more than likely snap off if you attempt to bend them. Trust me I wore them for 28 years.
Hit that thumbs up!
great job! what kind of blade are you using in your table saw?
(reason for a name here)808. Hey I switched out the Dewalt blade because it got dull pretty quick. I bought a 40 tooth Diablo at Home Depot. It was on sale. I'm Cheap! and I always go there and Lowes because they offer a Military discount! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
+JON'S DIY already subscribed :)...I saw that you are getting really clean cuts. 40 tooth huh? i think I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
Where do you get the white foam board, 1/2" thick? Economical source?
Wendy. You can get 1/2 inch at Michael’s Crafts. I get it at everything’s a dollar. It’s 1/4 inch there so I just stack two. I’m cheap. Lol
Hey Jon, how do you recommend getting challenge coins to stick to the felt/foam board?
Since I use half inch foamboard this allows me to place small brads (x4) around the coin. The heads of the brads hold the coin in position. Along with the brads a bit of wood glue on the spot for the coin to stick to or 2 sided tape can give you added support. But the brads alone have never failed me.
@@JONSDIY thanks for the quick reply! I would’ve never thought of that. Love your work
Just for you Lars :-) ua-cam.com/video/De26q7zhSiQ/v-deo.html
Jon, what are the dimensions for the one without the sword?
18 x 24
I was trying to find a reference to the 2/8th but wasn’t able to find any. Just checking but are we saying 1/8 or is it truly 2/8th (1/4”)?
Lol. I'm guilty. I actually meant 2/16. But we all make mistakes.
@@JONSDIY
What size Ensign did you use?
The one in this box is a 4x6. Standard retirement flag.
For the back plate, could you use a 1/8" straight router bit used on a router table to make sure the line is straight?
I don't see why not if your doing this with a router table. (There is the possibility of tear out doing this) But are we talking about the back plate itself or the backplate rabbit groove on the box? And then again both of these are a breeze using the fence of a table saw.
@@JONSDIY the groove for the backpl6
Backplate
@@stephenkimball1732 yes but I usually only do this when custom shapes are involved. In my opinion it takes more time. See the following clips of me using a router for the back plate rabbit. ua-cam.com/video/EFGa46jDuyo/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/p4jFsnvJkxE/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/-GVG-MoL76A/v-deo.html
How does everything stay in place when you hang it? Is there no fixing of medals and badges to the foam/felt?
Did you miss the part where I used foam board? All the ribbons and pins are just pressed into the foam board. I have never had one come out.
See links
ua-cam.com/video/1OU39R5forc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Z0N8xGHpdQ0/v-deo.html
How do you fasten the plaques? I am wanting to make one for my recent graduation from paramedic school. It’ll hang a coin, and latch and a diploma
Where do you get your foam board sir?
ua-cam.com/video/p4jFsnvJkxE/v-deo.html
Dollar Tree. Thats why I glue 2 pieces together. If you buy a half inch board at and art store Like Hobby Lobby or Michael's then you will pay 4x as much. www.dollartree.com/searchresults?Ntt=poster%20board
At this point in the video you are watching. I state where the foam board was purchased. ua-cam.com/video/Z0N8xGHpdQ0/v-deo.html
What did you use to attach the plaques to the felt since they don’t have pins to stick in?
Any ordered plaques come with 2 sided tape on the rear. I added nothing. I simply pulled the tape and stuck them in their positions. ua-cam.com/video/RgJTz2dZsig/v-deo.html
@@JONSDIY thank you! I used your video nearly to the T to make a shadowbox for my Admiral who is retiring after 34 years of service! You’re video really helped me out thank you!
Is there a reason to not use glass?
Not at all. I usually use glass when the box is square and plexiglass when the box has an unusual shape. But this is a DIY and glass is difficult for someone that does not cut it all the time. Mistakes with glass get costly. So for a DIY Plexiglass is hard to screw up. But take a look at many of my other videos and I use glass. But just my 2 cents..... plexiglass is supper easy and gives great results for the armature DIYer.
Is that 100% acrylic felt or polyester?

How can I get you to make me one of the shadow boxes? I really like how you made yours.
+Andy Where are you stationed right now? And when is your retirement ceremony?
Can you contact me at koolcatflo@yahoo.com please.
I served 14 yrs but I didn't get to retire. I just finished out my last contract and wanted a box just like this one.
I would like a box 30"X30" w/ the flag casing on the right side when looking at the case.
+Andy , 30x30!! that's huge, what do you intend to put in the case? I thought these 2 I made were big and the mahogany box was only 21x21. Is this going on a wall?
Hello did you use a dado blade on your dewalt table saw? If so do you have a link to that?
Wojo, yes I did. Are you looking for a link to the dado set? Because I purchased it at sears and they no longer sell it. But there are others just as good made by Craftsman.
Ok thank you. I was told a dado blade could not be used on the dewalt saw but I never researched it. I will
Look into it thank you.
@@wojo1034 the older models do not. but the new ones do like the DWE7490 and DWE7491 amzn.to/2O2kIPu
I think you have to buy the dado throat plate separate but don't quote me on that. Also the next time I go to buy dados I will get the DeWalt set unless I can find a good Diablo set. amzn.to/2S0Vxyi
I used a 3/8 round over and my edges look nothing like yours. Did you use a Roman ogee?
Stephen. No just a roundover. The one pictured in the middle.
amzn.to/2vXwZ1q
This is the exact bit I am using. (Skil 3/8 Roundover)
@@JONSDIY that is not the correct bit that's in the video.
Judging by how many navy things you have made, and I have heard you mention being in the military, im gonna take a guess and say you were either a sailor or marine. Were you one of those?
James Bond Navy 28 years
JON'S DIY I see why you refuse to iron uniforms now! Thank you for your service! I love your shadow box making videos. I have never seen someone make it up as they go and come out with such perfection!
Thanks James. I appreciate your comment. If you look closely at the shadowbox picture with the sword running through it... those are my arms holding it up. ROFLOLThis is me too. ua-cam.com/video/1OU39R5forc/v-deo.htmlm22s (first shadow box I ever built)
Great box! But man, it is NEVER a good idea to wear gloves while using a table saw and so many times your fingers came near that blade! I get this was 6 years ago. I hope all your digits are still attached. Phew.
Louder please
Think you have issues with your sound. There is nothing wrong with the sound on this video.
