Lighted 3-D Scroll Saw Shadowbox | WWMM ART & DESIGN

[@SteveRamsey]

If you have a scroll saw, this is a fun project with endless creative possibilities. Combining three scroll-sawed panels into one shadowbox gives a sense of depth to the scene and an LED strip in the back gives the scene a sunset glow. See the description for my cutting templates and links to the materials I used. Enjoy!

[@paulcurley3164]

Steve Ramsey that is extremely effective. love it

[@edwardholmes91]

Steve Ramsey Very nice project indeed Steve. The LED lighting works really well too, especially with all of the different colours! I wonder if you can get it to cycle through them slowly?

[@dannersmyers]

Love this project Steve, it looks awesome!! What make is your scroll saw?

[@Rillion12]

I am just finishing up a lightbox/shadowbox/whatever this is called that I designed entirely on my own, as a new woodworker....boy, I wish I'd watched this video first. But hey, now that I have seen it, I'm really looking forward to doing the next one!

[@94233psu399154112333]

Going back and looking at some of Steve’s older videos. They are fantastic. I’m building this !

[@biglar155]

I built it for my wife as a surprise gift. She (and all her friends) LOVE it. I used birch plywood for both the frame and the panels. I was on a budget and couldn't do the expensive LED light set so I went with a $2.99 wally-world LED light set for a Christmas village. Not quite as bright as the more expensive set, but some white paint on the back of the panels helps bounce the light around and nearly makes up for it. (I attached the light string to the panel with hot glue.) Thanks for a great project and a great gift idea!

steve,you always know how to make people smile.......,well done steve.

[@ylekaikyle]

I made one of these as a card for my wife on our anniversary, using an Aladdin theme, only with paper. I never thought of using wood to make a shadow box. Brilliant!

[@ottoismy1dog]

Glad to see the successful return of the *back lit box*!

[@kennethmarlow2731]

Thank you. May you and your family have a safe and Merry Christmas.

[@zacherykeller6184]

Steve..........One of your best projects by far love all the holiday projects.

[@SteveRamsey]

Well thank you. I love making holiday projects.

[@Jeppe.P.Bjerget]

A real Christmas art picture. Would look nice on the top of the fireplace . Have a great weekend

[@timoconnor6687]

What a wonderful idea. It opens up so many possibilities! I had a scroll saw just like yours - bought it second hand - no matter what I did or how I adjusted it - I snapped my blades!

[@Menimitz]

I just bought a scroll saw last Friday. This is awesome timing. I bought an old used one that only has pin mount blades but it will do for now.

[@Badgerworkshop]

I used those led strips for the first time this week. They are great

[@tsuchang1]

I like the scroll saw work. Your project turned out really super. Your commercials are fun to watch as well. Shoot they should give you a pay raise.

[@SteveRamsey]

Thanks Stephen!

[@Makerside]

That's so cute! A good idea to make this box with kids. Scroll saw is relatively safe for that and table saw cuts can be made by myself.

[@SteveRamsey]

Yes! It's also one of the few tools that you can actually use in the house without making much mess.

[@WoodenCreationz]

Wow!!!! This has to be one of your very best pieces!!! Yeah... Think I'm gonna have to make one!!

[@geoffbeck3598]

I wish there were two like buttons!! Awesome!! Thanks Steve.

[@goddale2002]

That is a super awesome project. I inherited a scroll saw from my father in law, and have used it a number of times, but a scroll saw is the power tool of a super patient man, so mine collects a lot of dust.

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

The prettiest of all . I can t find words . Amazinggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SteveRamsey]

Thank you!

[@macey75]

Looks like you found a word (Well not really a word, cuz Amazingggggggggggggggg isn't a word) but you found something I guess.

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

I just ' emphasize ' the word amazing .

[@ratdog3055]

Neat idea. I can see a lot of possibilities with this design.

[@Nexim1]

Oh! Wow that's Beautiful Steve !

[@sandycooper3188]

Wow. That is FABULOUS!!!! Love your videos. Thanks.

[@teachwren]

I love all of your stuff, but that is up there as one of my favorites. I really like how you added depth to it with the different layers.

[@2012spacetraveler]

I don't always watch WWMM but when I do I stay for the commercials, stay wood working my friends

[@cartoon80s90s]

Wow. What an awesome idea. 100 likes from me. What I would change is this. I would allow the "slides" to be removable. Then you could create additional slides and have the kids create a variety of settings by matching those. Probably too much work, but imagine how cool it would be to have a different setting for each season or holidays, like Summer or Halloween.

[@dennispoulos6010]

I was thinking the same thing. I would suggest leaving the top box piece unattached so you can slide pieces in and out.

[@robemich1]

Nice work Steve. It's great to see you do different stuff like this.

[@Ruben-bi1qi]

That's such a neat idea and very simple

[@boazandruth909]

nice to see you break out the scroll saw...and the project was extremely cool..

[@vegardjohannessen3009]

Fun and creative project with a beautiful outcome!

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

Brilliant project Steve really like that one.

[@bigwoz78]

Right on Steve, beautiful project

[@Hugatry]

That looks really cool and is also super easy to make! RGB LEDs are also a nice touch, great way to change the mood.

[@hamsterbyte]

This is pretty brilliant. Great idea Steve!

[@RichEklund]

Beautiful. Well done Steve. Love the layering.

[@American-OutdoorsNet]

Very enjoyable. I sure don't need any more projects but that one just got bookmarked!

[@markokoncarevic7489]

Nice, cute and creative project, made with care. Thank you.

[@MRrwmac]

Wow Steve! I thought the 3 layers was really nice and then you put the lights on and was seriously amazed at how much they brought in the extraordinary effect! Excellent work!

[@vissermalin]

It's absolutely gorgeous !! I didn't know you were an artist ! Thanks a million, Denis

[@SaltyVibrations]

Great stuff! Reminds me of the old Disney animation technique in the 40's

[@SteveRamsey]

Yes! At the Disney Museum in SF, they have one of Disney's old multi-plane cameras. It's huge!

[@petershevlan2513]

Excellent project and very creative ad. All round a top jolly job!!

[@dnllschlt]

This project was awesome!

[@djevil247]

Always love your video Steve, keep em coming

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT HOLIDAY PROJECT Steve!!! I really like the 3D effect with and without the lights. Thanks

[@CPBuilds]

I think 3 people wanted to see more purple in this video...that or they hate awesome holiday projects. Looks great!

[@dnngskn62]

Really love this project Steve. Turned out great.

[@stephenmalone3230]

Followed your advice and purchased my scroll saw second hand on Gumtree (Australia's Craigslist). Now I have my first project. Thanks! NSW in Oz

[@SteveRamsey]

Woohoo!

[@stephenmalone3230]

MCKingfisher • the only difference being that you really can't use Gumtree in the UK to find "a Eucalyptus species" cut down for fire wood like I did just last week, unless there is a forest hidden away over there I don't know about. Here we use it to find wood that people just want to get rid of that arborists just leave lying on the ground in people backyard (never referred to as just a Yards, as that's an American term for garden). Funny really finding Gum trees on Gumtree. Refer Wikipedia "List of Eucalyptus species" too too many to list there burn as "Hot as hell" . Yes it's a handy tool when used correctly.

[@AndysHolzkiste]

A nice 3D project and a great woodwork. Greetings from Andy from Germany

[@olderendirt]

[@SteveRamsey]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@kimpliny]

[@MidwestManMountain]

Steve, this turned out beautiful! Definitely a WWMM favorite. Cool shot with the camera on top of the piece as you're turning it on the scrollsaw too.

[@SteveRamsey]

Thanks Kristopher. Glad you liked my extra-artsy shots! Haha

Definitely a nice project Steve! Thanks for the video. I guess you could just leave an opening at the bottom for natural light if you don't have a LED strip.

[@faroukbe]

NICEE. I was just thinking of doing something similar as a gift for my wife. This gave me more creative ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@earlmace]
