I've wanted to make one of these for a long time. Just got around to making it. Totally stoked about it. If your not already, connect with me on instagram.com/morediycreators/

DIY Creators the one thing I don’t have

[@oneeyedgaming5436]

DIY Creators lol

[@rakshithsharma6673]

DIY Creators Can u make a headgear stand or helmet stand

[@NicoretteMan]

Maestro, just discovered your channel, just excellent. I’m using this light box (in different sizes) as ‘wall niches’ to display art and ornaments since I’m building my house with wide (hollow) walls. Thanks a lot sir!

[@youtubecommentpolice2043]

DIY Creators I have a business enquiry. Any e-mail available?

[@ilhamismail2879]

im a photographer, i can say that you just made the top quality small studio, thumbs up man!

[@dinodubroja7433]

hahahahha

[@k.g._szymczak]

I'm a plumber, so yeah. wtf

[@biggrime]

​@@k.g._szymczakI'm on the toilet right now 😅

[@shidorikuroko]

I'm so glad I stumbled over this video. I was gonna buy a light box to photograph my products but I decided to see if anybody had a DIY build for one. This vid gave me a big confidence boost. I think I can actually manage this build. :) Big thanks!

[@dariofortunato2784]

I appreciate that you show and tell us what you did during the process to improve it, and that it wasn't part of the plan in the first place, shows what could possibly happen to us and to look out for it. I appreciate that

[@CamInglis]

You are certainly not short on skills including woodworking, photography, and making DIY videos. There was a nice pace to your tutorial, clear, concise, and educational. Thank you.

[@stevehargis4701]

As a 35-year video creator I can officially say this is one of the finest demo videos I've seen. Great job.

[@ZacJones]

Kreg Jig is life for quick projects, I like the light box. Turns out a really nice photo of the subject

[@DIYCreators]

Yep! Thank you :D

[@mikevanwieringen9883]

Some people don't ever seem to learn, huh...They keep on putting out great content without taking into consideration that a viewers to-do-list keeps on getting longer and longer :-) No, seriously Glen...This is another excellent build that will definitely make it to my to-do-list....Keep up the great work !!

[@DIYCreators]

Haha, i'm trying to clean up my to-do list :D. Thanks, Mike!

[@reginarodriguez7725]

Agreed!

[@sphilpot05]

The to-do list struggle is real :( lol

[@mikevanwieringen9883]

hahaha, it sure is ;-)

[@samanthasky4463]

wow! this just popped up on my YT feed this morning and it couldn't have been more timely. My husband does woodturning and I can never get a good photo of his pieces - I was going crazy trying to find a good lightbox. Perfect and just what I wanted - I'm starting to build it today. Super Thanks for such a good video.

[@JFKreations]

I’ve been wanting to get into photography for a while and building a light box like this may finally motivate me to get the camera out. Thanks again for the inspiration Glen.

[@Uquityabtchn]

I needed my light box to be collapsible for storage and travel, it is made from a collapsible tent cube for cats. I just replaced the colorful fabric with white cloth. Works great for the small items that I expect to work with. I like the one you made, and I would love to have the room for one that size.

[@dollslifefiction3681]

Very clean job. Congrats!!! I love it!

[@64t120r]

I'm really digging those clamping squares. In the future, when you work with fabric, put the staples in the center and work out to the edges. Pulling gently all the way. Good build, I'll be making one, a bit smaller, in the future for taking pictures of jewelry.

[@southernhospitalityfarm3249]

Thank you for the video & cut list! 💕💛💕🙏

[@filipfraus6246]

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen..

[@مؤنسالجبريل]

You made a beautiful thing. If I were a photographer, I wanted an easy thing to carry everywhere

[@gerryjamieson1861]

Hi Glen. I am totally blown away by your videos. Where do I start. Great build ideas, great lighting and camera placement. Your background music is there but not at any level one could say is annoying, thanks for that. I so appreciate your honesty during a build because how many of us DIYers make small mistakes and curse ourselves for doing so. I really like the detail tool list you put with each build along with all of the materials you used and where to buy them. Thanks for not jabbering on about nothing when watching is all that's needed. You speak when something you've done or are about to do need an explanation. So all in all I'm a fan. Fantastic!! Gerry, Vancouver, Canada.

[@jenniferfitzgerald9009]

That’s badass what you made to hold the wood in place and create a straight frame! Bravo

[@csenior10]

This is exactly what I was imagining and creating in my head. I just got a little foggy with the details. This is perfect

[@jonathandelacruz5349]

Favorite woodworking KZbind by far. Thank you!

[@Wooberstein]

great video! you can get pocket hole fillers made out of wood, which you glue in and sand flush. much faster than waiting for that thickness of wood filler

[@robertransley-photography564]

This is fantastic. Thanks!!!

[@yeaz0317]

Amazing light box, I make purses and handbags, just what I need to capture the uniqueness of my hard work on camera. Thanks so much! Looking forward to your other DIY ideas!

[@danrammacher9768]

Thanks for making this!!!

[@DjPorkchop73]

Man this is by far one of the best DIY Light Boxes I have feasted my eyes upon on YT. Nicely done!

[@WelcomeToMichellesWorld]

I really like your version of a lightbox. I made one out of a box and tissue paper. One day I will upgrade.

[@Toolboxdiva]

This is a fantastic build! Especially for creators. I have one I made using a cardboard box and its not really sturdy. This would be a beautiful upgrade.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you :D! Its great for small things now I need to figure what to do for large builds :D.

[@anisahmad1672]

How arrange lights

[@Tutorialmembuatkue]

I like your video,it's so useful.

[@kirknra863]

I place my diy light box on a large piece of glass and light from underneath on occasion. Nice build.

[@youvehadyoursix]

[@shenakaye5418]

Great job! I'm seriously proud of you for making this yourself. VERY well thought out and properly built. I look forward to seeing more videos of yours.

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@chriskennedy7321]

Thanks for the video. Like many, this has been on my to-do list for awhile. Your take on the light box is well thought out, will help me save time, and gives me the push I need to build something that I've needed.

[@FusionFixings]

Now, we need one of these, going to show this video to the joinery shop and see if they can make one, Great channel.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Damn man! I just order one from amazon! Never thought about making one. Thanks Glen!! Looks great!!

[@DIYCreators]

HAHa, thanks, man! That would just take all the fun out if I bought one.

[@AGlimpseInside]

DIY Creators I know, and now I can’t have fun!! Haha. Keep killing it man!! Love your stuff!

[@peuhenrick]

[@robertcampbell9205]

Very nice 👍.

[@eddieblake4039]

My man went IN on this.

[@cavscout888]

Hmmmmm, thanks! But I'll be going out of my lath bundle and super cheap white poly table cloths. Just needed to understand the basics, so thanks! Will be trying to finally get good pics of my old milsurp rifle collection.

[@japandata]

Wow!!! You just saved me $100 from the store bought boxes and it looks awesome!! I am making it this weekend. You rock!

[@beccab8639]

BOSS 🏆 I NEED A MAN LIKE YOU ✨

[@elcioferreiradf]

awesome, great

[@RzRips]

this is incredible! I plan on making one of these myself now that I've seen your video. only thing I'm planning on doing differently is making a slot at the top of the box to slide the posterboard in.

[@aniket.khade27]

They way you hid the cloth seams was really great. Also congrats for the new merch store.

[@franklopes100]

Love your metals "squares"

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, they are great!

[@jamesambrose2834]

It would be great if you built the box with hinges so that it could be collapsed for easy storage and transportation. Good video though 👍🏼

[@SIMAHATIR]

Keren, i'm from Indonesia 😁

[@maryamulhaq168]

You are a creative n amazing teacher of wood work n beauty.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you Maryam

[@Selnatal]

I love your work! Thanks. Definitely sharing. Greetings from Switzerland.

[@heidischoller4616]

Hi Glen was it? I have been searching KZbin and watching videos for 2 days now looking at so many videos on how to make a light-box. Most were made using a cardboard box, and I guess that does the trick and it is cheap, but your's is out of this world! I loved how once you had put the diffusing fabric on you said you wanted it to look neat, so you glued a frame over it and it just finished it off and made it look beautiful :-) One day I hope to be able to talk my guy into making me one like yours as that way you can move it around, take it outdoors if you want and well, it just isn't going to fall apart the first trip it makes with you. LOL. Anyway, thank you again and great looking merch!

[@yourpalborno]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@maysoonjam]

Great job...!

[@KatonthePiano]

I'm making something similar for my product shots, since you made an innner and outer frame i would have sandwiched the fabric between the two.

[@crystalsoulslayer]

Great project. I get the impression that, if you're the kind of person who'd need one of these, you'd _really_ need it. The construction is simple enough that you'd need very few tools to be able to build the thing. Probably wouldn't be too hard to adapt it to a flat-pack knockdown style, either. :D

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you

[@None-685]

If your not a wood worker maybe frame pieces used by artists for stretching canvas would work.

[@FranciscoDelValle180]

Great job! I need a new light box and this fits the bill perfectly.

[@feezotolegacy5603]

finally the most proper diy. thanks alot!
