LED Wall Cube Shelves

[@TheSeancassady]

at 4:59 brings back memories seeing you seal the heat shrink with a lighter. I am a Marine and worked on helicopters where we used same heat shrink material after fixing wiring issues except we were SUPPOSED to use a hot air gun to do the shrinking which required much more time in bringing out a generator all the way out to the flight line, big pain in the butt. So instead, everyone carried a BIC lighter, even the non-smokers. They were a tool commonly referred to as a "B1C" or a "Bravo One Charlie".

Love this book! kzbin.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

[@randy-U.I.O.G.D.]

I can see the JOY in your smiles the moment you turned your creation on.

[@jsburklow]

Darbin this is a very cool project. I really like the idea of attaching the individual boxes to a larger backing board.

[@Crichly]

Nice project. I like the idea of attaching them to one panel. Makes it all much neater.

[@Mainbusfail]

Ms. Linn, you are a rockstar! Im already in my planning phase for your design. Thank you so much.

[@Luiblonc]

Linn, I really liked how you assembled the boxes lining them up with the blue masking take - WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA! lovely project!

[@adrianabshire]

Another great idea! Love the boxes on top of the board so the light wires are all hidden! Thanks for sharing this!

[@jimmcnett]

Really nice. I love your videos because you combine wood working with so many other skills. Electrical, leather, fabric, and others. Keep posting please!

[@EcoMouseChannel]

Since I do a lot of commercial retail spaces, where LEDs are used quite often. I've made it a habit of using all the different varieties of aluminum extrusion tracks for LEDs. Some have covers, some angle the light or shield the light. I always include those into the build... but when I just need a small piece to show the client what I had in mind, I get 1 meter strips off of ebay. The nice thing about them, is that they act as heat sinks, and prolong the lifespan of the LEDs and I can tell the clients that there won't be a fire hazard when they are applied to the aluminum extrusions. No client says no to them after that. But for your shadow box build, I would have made it so the lights are way more recessed. So you don't see the strip of light, but it makes the back of the board light up evenly. Just recently did a build like this to showcase luxury purses in display window.

[@mikesmith-yw4pc]

Great project, my granddaughter loves watching your videos and after watching she jump up saying ( girl power). LOL. She turning 8 and love woodworking. Love your projects.

[@robertevans6481]

looks great and the paper idea works very well to soften the light....

[@timlist4173]

You are a very creative person. Thank you so much for sharing your creations.

[@thejedijohn]

such a cool project. Simple and elegant. I always appreciate how you include other skill sets (leather, electricity, etc) into your woodworking. You integrate the different media so well. Keep 'em coming!

[@TheSeancassady]

Great looking boxes, something you could do to mix up the lighting would be to put different colored paper over the lights to change the lighting in each box. Or even have multiple different colors in each box

[@todddembsky8321]

Linn, I really like the look of this fixture. I was also thinking that if you wanted to have items that collect dust, you could put on smoked glass or acrylic doors to bring down the light level and still give you that wonderful shadow box look. Beautiful

[@user-mi9yj7vb9p]

Very cool and useful project. I was gonna ask about any heat generated by the led lights, but you cleared it up. Reason I asked was to put an additional groove for a colored acrylic or glass sheet and possibly add a shadow land scape to it.

[@ramanandasaralaya9319]

The way you made the box is excellent.

[@abovethegaragewoodworking4081]

Great Job Linn! I really like the contrast of the boxes on the white backboard. I think I would have hooked up to a remote so I could dim them.

[@dnngskn62]

Great display cases. The led lights really make this one work.

[@MrGr8golf]

Beautiful job as usual. You always come up with different and great ideas. Your video approach and quality is really very nice, too.

[@dejanira2]

Very neat concept. Addressing the amount (brightness) of light maybe if the bottom row was left off so you just had the top and 2 sides.

[@sandEffect]

You’re so handy in the garage and changing outfits in style. Great video.

[@dianawestrup7416]

When I grow up I want to be like you!!! What a smart young lady you are, wow! My respects. Greetings from Cancun, the Mexican Caribbean.

[@martinberry574]

As always Lin wonderful workmanship, love the way you use LED's always creative and practical. Personally I would prefer them as individual shelf as opposed to them on the board but that is a personal choice, keep up the good work Lin, always looking forward to your next video. From the republic of Ireland.

[@mhaz49]

I've been designing a shadow box display for prayer beads and I've been struggling with the lighting. Your box lighting is exactly how I want to go. I'll use a rheostat to control the brightness. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheRealThisIsAlex]

Wow! Those are very nice shelves! You did a great job!

[@pearl6260]

This is very simple work, nothing special....but the special is your way of working, you have so many tools, instruments & you have done very systematically....very nice

[@VintageTexas59]

Very nicely done, I agree about covering the LED strip with paper, they can be bright without.

[@5.5_F]

im a professionel kitchen designer and maker from algeria .. you are great and i love your work your taste and your touchs are gorgeous .. respect.

[@liovaleri]

Love it! They way you hide the cables is excellent! Congratz!

[@lynnburnett89]

What a beautiful project! You are a really neat person! I'm glad you are in the world.

[@aroundhomediy]

Very cool Linn! One option that I did with some arcade marquee lightboxes was to inset the back panel by 1/2" or 3/4" and run a french cleat across the top of the back panel to hang them on the wall (assuming they were wide enough to cross two studs). If you were okay with the boxes touching a bit you could still hide the wires, though I suppose you could also use small lengths of the fairy lights to connect the boxes. Hiding the wire to the DC adapter/outlet is still annoying unfortunately.

[@Exsig12]

Looks great. Maybe a dimmer switch then you can control the brightness as the situation changes? Thank you for sharing.

[@DiscoverRajivVlogs]

Wow, it will also work as a night lamp. Even can be used for creative product photography.

[@Mdreaume]

Darbin you are very creative and talented. Your videos are really well scripted. Always a treat to see you in action! From So California

[@JakesWorkshop]

Very nice and the color temperature is just kindly warm to relax you after a hard working day :)

[@AlaskaSkidood]

New intro! Nice. Excellent looking project. An idea to dress up that switch would be to get half an easter egg or ping pong ball, or maybe even a velvet ring box and punch a hole or slot in the middle to let the lever poke out. The box would cover the body of the switch and help integrate it into the design of the piece.

[@Pacho53]

nice job Lynn, very elegant and easy to do!

[@DoseOfBaani]

i love your idea. for everyone complaining saying the screws are showing in the front or the white board is to plain.... its a DIY! this is the way she likes it for herself but you can always add your own twist to it.

[@CraigusMaximus73]

Great build. Screw from the back to hide the screws in the box. Route a groove on the rear for the power cable and maybe use a more elegant switch. Love the idea and am going to make some as display boxes for my kids projects. Thanks for the inspiration. Oh, maybe use the multi coloured remote controlled led strips for more colours and effects, or maybe coloured plexiglass. Cheers Linn

[@ericaarcas8161]

They are stunning, as a very amateur diy'er, you think you might be able to make a detailed video on the whole LED connection and attaching dimmer and switches to them please? Thanks!!!

[@cliffbramlett4131]

Great project! Did you consider putting a lip on the front edge and tucking the lights behind that? I feel like indirect lighting like that would have given the boxes a more comfortable feel.

[@bluecatblu76]

I so want your workshop. Awesome! Love the boxes. Thank you for sharing 🌸🌺❤️

[@lightningfan1980]

love watching your creativity with all your projects--this is about the fourth video I've watched. Great to see another woman at work :)

[@nihalbinu]

This video is amazing because in this video you have shown your ability or power than your creativity. I don't know why I felt like this when others are comment on the content. It may be because I'm an Indian and I haven't seen any video which is led by a women. Lots of appreciation.🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Autism_Forever]

The shelves look fantastic! ♥ I love to do illuminated projects myself and do really admire people who can solder properly :) Most of the times I end up connecting my wires with hot glue or electrical tape :)))) Maybe you could do a tutorial on soldering since you are so good at it?..

[@OleGramps53]

I like the fresh projects you come up with.

[@nandishsharma5366]

These shelves look amazing, great project.

[@Witzitt]

Very cool project! I agree with Matt, though. How difficult would it be to put a dimmer knob instead of a flip switch?

[@YabadabadooMrMagoo]

I was watching this video for ideas For when I build my camper van. I like the idea of lights in cabinets and this looks like a really good solution. As far as the lights being too bright couldn’t you have added a dimmer switch?

[@yofito2914]

I loved that you used the 45 degree angle on the boxes

[@SmoothTurning]

Enjoyed the lighting. You might also check out dimmer switches. I use them in my projects with good effect.

[@billmoore2493]

Liked the look of this project. Slight change I might make would be to be to put some of the light at the front of the box to front-light the displayed object.

[@ankursinghkashyap]

Loved the build :) One upgrade can be to add a variable resistor to adjust brightness, that can be put right next to on/off switch.

[@goodgoat6019]

That won't work, a PWM dimmer must be used.

[@neodidi]

I love this.. Considering using this to create something like a sound insular or for studio when I set up..

[@Hubbmade]

Funny thing, I took a break from editing my own video to watch this one... and realized we made the same choice of music! "Rubix Cube" will be in mine too =0) Also, when I have to paint screws I just push them down into a scrap of cardboard, saves me time and wood. Good job, Linn!

[@stevenkofoed1698]

I love this project! I also love the variety of your projects.

[@sancarcar1713]

Marry Christmas & HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@Robert8455]

Cool idea & endless variations one could do. I think installing the screws from the back board would be nice as it would hide the fasteners, just need to make sure you don't over penetrate.

[@delvis7842]

I love the look of these boxes! fantastic job!

[@dreamkiss4u]

nice project, you could have also used an RGB strip light with remote control to change to any theme light background for them plus lower the intensity of the brightness so you wont need to add the paper strips....plus with the small remote you wouldn't need to wire a switch since the remote would turn it off and on or do any color or brightness or even effects.

[@konain]

I am a die hard fan of your creative DIY...Keep it up!! :)

[@sjscreations2608]

Hi Linn, I am bewildered where you got all these skills. From concreting to electrical work, woodwork, turning on the lathe, etc..... Are you self taught? In Australia we are not allowed to do our own electrical work, or we are, but it has to be certified by an electrician, with paperwork etc.. You explain everything very well and you are extremely creative. Congratulations on this and all your projects!!! I've subscribed and will continue to watch your projects. If you like watching creative KZbin videos, have a look at this guy. NZ woodturning from the U.K. He will try anything, similar to you. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Sean

[@AnythingPrash]

It's very beautiful concept Dorbian

[@cade861]

Adding a spacer board behind the main white board and attaching leds to that so it had a back glow I think would have been pretty cool but more complicated. It is a great project though turned out really well!

[@mrsparkle9952]

I just watched several of your videos and I had to subscribe!!! Incredible talent!!! Beautiful work!!!!

[@ibrahimgeckin7547]

thanks for providing nice work sharing this with us to prepare, good job

[@eggy68]

Very nice! The rice paper really softened the light. BTW - love that your K1000 gets pride of place 🙂

[@AndreaArzensek]

They came out beautiful!

[@DnBeeBoy]

Heeey, this is awesome idea! I planned something like glass vitrine for miniatures. Combination of wooden frame and glass sides, but this is much more better. Just imagine your box sides with glass front side and some shelves inside. Beautiful! Thank you, Linn :)

[@GM0RA]

Wish i had all those tools! Looks great, good job.

[@jwmachen]

I like it. I like the one with the small plant. I would guess you could get LEDs for plants and make a bigger/deeper box for house plants on the wall. Might be a good option for people with dogs and cats that mess with the plants.

[@luant12345]

Cool idea! I'm surprised that you don't have more snow. always thought Sweden is full of snow. Snow and pretty girls :) Cheers!

[@luant12345]

D Dixon oh.. lol i did not know that :) thanks for telling me!

[@secondwind75]

Very cool, Linn. I love those LED projects you do. It's amazing what some lights and some wood can turn into. Well done as usual. And a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks so much for a great year of.vids. May next year be another good one for you. Troy

[@CrankyPantss]

Very nice. If you wanted a different colored glow, would colored card stock change the glow color enough??

[@blackbart99]

Beauty from simplicity....nicely done...

[@mrinmoy1606]

you are extremely talented Darbin..Kudos!!

[@LucasHartmann]

Looks great. Only slightly improvement I can think of would be to use the router table to create channels inside the miter joints before glueing. This would allow you to hide the led wiring as it goes behind the main pannel.

[@JeremieSantos]

I like the project, I've been looking for ideas to make a display case frame and this leans to what I'm kind of looking for. my changes for my idea would be more of individual boxes and a frame for the box. and different lighting power and controls.

[@DougPowell01]

Very nice, thinking about how to do this as an indoor herb garden or infinity mirror with space for items on display.

[@Paladonius]

You should try fluted router bits for your router, not only do they give you a great cut but they clear the material away from the groove much more than a straight edge router bit

[@garyhuston]

Linn, I have just discovered your channel (via Jimmy) and love it! Another great resource for ideas and cool projects, thanks...

[@asrinmohammad8309]

That’s beautiful. And i will try that at home wen i go Vacation. And i like the way u talk.

[@ayylasco]

Very nice professional look

[@pepinosan30]

Merry Christmas Linn!

[@MrGrisu56]

Very nice lookoing project, but I would have fix the switch behind the board. For dimming the LEDs you can use an inlinedimmer

[@2001DestructionofLies]

since you liked the led's showing did you think about putting a dimmer switch on the led's so that you could still see the lights but not being so bright and giving you so much more alternatives with the lights ? still it was a cool looking project and a nice job as always !!!!!!!!!!!

[@bestienjager7436]

Matt Dodaro you can buy rgb lights with a dimmer built into the remote

[@cgrisby57]

how did you do the wiring, you went over it sort of fast, and wasn't sure now the layout applied. Great work, like the imagination

[@RM-bf7to]

Hi, I love this project! You inspire ladies w/ tools 😊. Do you recommend a LED electrical primer or videos for learning basic LED installations? Soldering, switches, etc.

[@mansoorrathod4400]

nic job i like it, u can also controll LED britness by lowering its current and also increase its lifspan by doin this way.

[@vivekv1922]

Wow, I'm envious of your work room

[@KE4YAL]

Really nice work Enjoy watching your creativity at work I love LED Lighting it just brings everything to a different level

[@stevecoster322]

Hiya, a Happy Christmas and New Year to you and yours. I'm looking forward to a lot more from you in 2017, take care...

[@luke928]

Thank you for your creative work. You seem kind as well. Keep it up

[@DrLIRAAAAAAA]

You could have used frosted acrylic thing sheets to cover the LEDs. I would give the same dimm effect, but would difuse the light better. Nice video!

[@himanshupaliwal2614]

Awesome creativity! Thank you for sharing. Cheers!

[@mauricebrown9094]

Very nice Linn.

[@easycretor]

Great project I like messing around with LEDs to all the light bulbs in my house including ones outside are LEDs now.

[@ZeeshanAli.]

Nice what if I have separate wall cubes now please you have any idea how to hide wires artfully(don't look bad if visible)? 🤔
