How to build a light box!

[@kimvaughan2140]

Thanks heaps for showing how it is done. For all you people commenting on his cool tools... my dad still makes dovetail boxes (same same!) with a hand saw. For goodness sakes folks, be grateful for the tutorial.

[@deltivan]

very instructional video, now I'll be heading to the nearest Walmart to buy a table saw, dust collector, box joint jig, router table, router bits, festool mitter saw, orbital sander and edge sander. I'll keep you posted on the end result. thanks

[@jasongrady8590]

Man, no kidding. This is crazy.

[@JunkieVirus]

how much did you spending in the end? and how did the light box turn out to be?

[@orangekid7870]

gorch foth It was sarcasm

[@twice8091]

Orange Kid or was it?

[@larchejacquesclarel9451]

@Money Mike use led light

[@MatthewKress]

I have no idea why people seem so angry about not having the tools that he uses. I think it is good looking light box and I am glad to see how he did it.

[@melbu6311]

Probably because people see this and think "damn if i have to buy all those tools to then also spend time and make a "DIY" light box, it would be better, less expensive, faster and easier to just buy a light box which costs 50 on Amazon". When i see "DIY" in the title, i usually think about something i can create myself with what i have already at home, or at the very least, if i have to buy some materials (not tools) still staying in the less expensive area.

Loved it. I wished I had a workshop like yours. Would you make a light box for my stained glass? :)

Great video, my daughter's gonna be over the moon when i build her one of these. Only thing, why music(at least why so loud)?

I have some vintage Asteroids, Dig Dug, Space Invaders marquees and was thinking I could build lighted boxes for them , " let me jump on KZbin someone's got a video, this should be easy." The amount of equipment I dont have was laid out in fantastic fashion... excellent shop and well put together video guy. I'm taking those headers to the attic

hello friend, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, but please tell me what type of paint did you used for wood and also for plexi, i didnt understand, English is not my first language , (i am from Romania), thanks again

[@wilsonsemilio1276]

Great work! This really demonstrates how easy it is, when you've got the right tools for the job. I'll have to do with my handsaw :) One question: How did you go about installing the lights and all? Would have been nice to see that as well.

Question: Can I use it for animating?

[@Shan1015]

hi would you sell the light box but make one at an angle? (higher towards the back, lower towards the front?) Thanks!

[@TheOneLichemperor]

I doubt that you're still interested in this, or you've long since sorted it out already, but I have a custom made lightbox myself. I designed it and got my Grandad (with his fully kitted workshop - like in the video =P ) to construct it. The way I designed it is that it has a lid, which is a separate piece, the shape of a right angled triangle that when placed beneath the box angles it towards you. There's a small lip on the lid to keep the box sat atop the lid too.

[@rmcrey6868]

Andy, Would that box be bright enough to view x-rays in your judgement? bob

[@GlassImpressions]

Bob, what size is an xray? The light box is approx 18" x 24"

[@rebekahc6338]

Any suggestions for the best frosted glass spray paint for this? something that has good, even coverage. I'm a little worried about it being too transparent with some frosted glass paints. I guess just keep going over it with multiple coats until thick enough? thanks!

[@kimvaughan2140]

Spray paint it then take it outside and try to look through it into the sun. That will tell you if it’s too thick or thin... or just right.

[@nilmagnifico8121]

You' sure gotta lotta nice Toys!

[@MrJasonabryan]

what is the the clear button on the top of the box used for?

Jason, It is a through hole for lifting out the plexiglass

Ethan Greene 1/4" Thank you for watching. Please share my videos. Have a great day!

[@pir869]

Great light box,one thing that should be avoided and this is from experience,don't use reflective shiny silver tape or sheets of foil etc,that will create direct reflective hot spots, Use titanium white matt paint,or mylar black and white sheet,one side is black the other is white it can be bought in garden centers that sell Hp sodium indoor grow lights for hydroponics,thought the paint is easier to apply and does not run the risk of tearing or melting.The paint is over 90% reflective won't create hot spots from direct reflection,it allows light to spread in a more even fashion,for artwork. I make printed circuit boards and need to align text layers after etching,the boards are fibreglass and are translucent allowing the copper to be seen to align text,component layout,hot and cold spots of light make this difficult ,even light spread must be achieved for accurate alignment of registration markers or pad placement alignment,so i have had issues and the best way to go is matt white ,the best is titanium matt white,no hot spots.

Like all the other folks, haha I do have frosted plexiglass and wood none of those tools, got a hammer, but first, off I think you need fluorescent lighting inside and mine probably won't stay together unless I use bungee cords, but thanks

Great video! Music was the absolute best part! Other than that, I did not learn a damn thing besides the fact that he sure loves showing off all his Mom's tools.

[@RixCanDoit]

Thanks for the video. As a suggestion on making the video, consider using Audio Ducking. The music should fade out when you speak. It was a tad overwhelming. :-)

[@Anthony-hu4nr]

I like this project I made a light table awhile back but didn't have a KZbin at the time but I built mine like a brief case and I use a battery operated light so I can take it on the go any use it anywhere. My box was all made from scraps the sides were ply wood and the top and bottom were parts to a 1920 piano. Al I purchased was the hardware and light. If you go to my channel and look at my wood working project video it's the wooden brief case. I made it to where I can remove everything and use it as a brief case as well.

[@gamesgirl0527]

Overkill for a lightbox bro. Nice carpentry, but theres no way I'm gonna use Oak, box joints, and put that much work into something that a person uses once a blue moon. I was thinking I'll just toss some lights in a roughneck tote and lay the glass on top. Otherwise, nice shop.

If your going to make a video for the average DIY person, you should make it with the average tools a DIY person would have. Skip the Box joints and use a Kreg jig or simply nail the corners. Keep it simple. Great vdeo BTW.

[@bmmcwhirt]

This is all fine and dandy, let me go out and spend 20,000USD on equipment to make a substandard light box without a glass top that can be bought for !/100 of what the equipment would cost. Xacto knives will scratch the hell out of that top.

[@GlassImpressions]

Yup, I bought all my tools just to make this one thing. Thanks for watching.

[@bmmcwhirt]

+bmmcwhirt All that said there are some improvements you can make. 1. Use real glass that is much harder to scratch. 2. Super bright LED strips give more even light and almost never need replacing and are more energy efficient. 3. Dovetail Joints don't loosen over time where even with glue box joints can. Don't get me wrong the finished product is nice but you have a how to video that requires some specific expensive equipment and you don't go into how to do it without any of it. It's less of a how to and more of a look what I made. It looks real nice but Glass top is really necessary for any vinyl or fisk work
