my very first project

[stork30]

Hello to all,

I joined the forum recently and I am very happy to show you my very first work !

It is of course not perfect but I enjoyed doing it.

It is a light box based on the following https://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2018/11/leaf-light-box-scroll-saw-pattern.html

I modified it a little bit, I used plywood of 3mm thick and led lights replaced the classic bulb and cord.

It was a great first project and look forward to my next one

Thank you

Great first project. Since you used LED lights you can put printer paper or vellum paper on the inside of each panel to give it a more completed look.

WOW!  I would never been brave enough to try that as my first project!!   Great job..  looks mighty fine!

Great looking first project or not. You did very well. Now you just need to get rid of that hold down foot.

[wombatie]

Wow.  That certainly would not have been my choice for a first project but you nailed it.    Keep up the great work.

Great work for a first project.

Dan mentioned using printer paper of velum on the inside to make it look a little more finished.  I totally agree.  Another choice is to put some 1/8" thk colored plexiglass inside.  It would add a lot to the project.  I'm attaching a photo of a lamp I did a while ago to give you some idea.  You can find the Plexiglass on line.

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for the nice words !

I admit, for a first project is was ambitious ! But working with wood is something I love to do so I jumped in and patiently worked on it.

It is not perfect, I need to work on my straight lines and turns but overall I am happy with the result, I was scared to make a mistake along the way and ruin it but I didn't,

I thought about finishing it with tracing paper inside, but since I don't have a single bulb but 10 micro led I wanted to keep the raw look and be able to see the led inside.

Working on the thin plywood was not difficult, now for my next project I think I will work on ash wood or beech wood, I will take easier patterns to practice

I see on this forum so many amazing work, i love the details and the precision on the cuts. I don't have a lot of spare time but hopefully I will get there one day

Thank you, take care and I will be back soon with a new addition
