Light Box

[jr42]

I've been seeing a lot of people posting pix of projects with lights so I decided to try one myself. I designed this light box today, making it so you can change out the front panel for different holidays. This one is obviously for Halloween. The panel was cut out using a Pegas #3R Reverse Skip Blade. The sides, top and bottom are all cut out of 1/2" red oak plywood. The front and back panel are 1/4" red oak plywood. The bottom back panel and sides are glued together. The top can be removed and the front panel will slide out. I will post the pattern and how to make the box later. I was unable to finish the box today due to weather as it was too humid to spray it.

Very cool idea and well done.. I'd be tempted to paint the front panel black so it would show up more as a silhouette.   Just a thought.. Great job either way.

Thanks Scrappile, I was thinking about staining it with dark walnut.

I agree 100% with Paul.

Great job cutting. Looks really great with the flickering light!
