baggetta Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Ok. This is a bit of work, but some of you might enjoy tampering with this idea. This is a little project you might like to make. I have two patterns in the pattern book: one for a Little Dancer (shown) and one for a Golf Pro, which can be cut on your scroll saw from 1/4" plywood. I used some scrap I had. You could make others on various themes if you have the inclination. The final result is a little box with layered frames which give a 3D effect. I also lit the box with a free flashlight I picked up at Harbor Freight. I think these are offered in all their million ads being circulated. I was able to get different colored effects by using blue, green, or yellow painters tape for a flashlight cover. Also better filters the light. If you use this don't leave the light on too long. Not sure if there is a build up of heat that could burn the tape. The pattern book has the two patterns you'll need and a sketchy plan for the box and some images of my build. If you study the patterns you'll get the idea.

baggetta Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks for the comments. I'm having a great time seeing my crazy ideas come "alive" in wood (sometimes for the good, others -- not so). Also glad to see they can be of some use to others.
