Navy Machinist Mate Shadow Box

Now there is a unique design for a shadow box. Beautiful! What did you do for the CPO emblem in the center?

What ever you do, don’t paint the next one unless you make it out of mdf.

Great design and finsih..well done.

Thanks for the complement. There’s a local engraving shop that does all of my laser work. I have tried to justify spending the money to purchase a laser engraver myself but with woodworking just being a hobby, it’s not a wise investment. I’ll post some other uniqe designs shortly.

That is one sharp design. Well done.

Nice to see another Navy guy around. I was a Damage Controlman myself. When the watchbill in the MMR’s were light I actually still stood watch as a Burnerman in our Boiler plants.

Those are great! I’ve never seen one like it.
What did you use to join the boards on your fins where you transition from horizontal to vertical?

Stain it grey – don’t paint it.

Beautiful, original work!

-- Rod ~ There's never enough time to finish a project, but there's always time to start another one.

Now I can see a Boatswain’s mate wanting haze gray, but an MM ought to prefer machinery gray. Just say in.
As to the project, Man that is sharp. Great Idea, well executed. Retired ENC (SS) in EC, NC.

That is a very creative and beautiful plaque and welcome to Lumberjocks.

That is one cool Idea for a shadow box, you’ve taking it to the next level with that design, well done!

Al, Welcome to another Virginia Jock. That is a cool shadow box. I would think a machinist would be quite excited to get.

That is a great looking project Al. Being an ex Boatswain’s Mate I endorse the haze gray. Just use construction fir to build it, ha ha.
