These are a couple of retirement shadowboxes I was asked to make. They are fairly simple, double backed to hide the pins and such, and lined in black leather.
Good looking boxes svenbecca. First time I'd seen leather used as background. Did you adhere the leather to the wood face or fasten it around the edges? Any problems with shrinkage or drying? Thanks for sharing.
Very nice, and a stellar job on the build of the boxes….I have a shadowbox that I built for all my military awards, medals, Viet Nam money, and i.d.'s when I was in the Army…..Thanks for posting…....
To be perfectly honest, I have never used a plan. It comes out of my head. I stare at a project for a while and build a little. Sometimes I start one (like the man table), put it away for a year, find it and build some more, then put it away again until it's finished. Get all of your dad's stuff together and lay it out and move it around until you like what you see. Take some measurments and pictures and build around that. You will be amazed at what you can come up with on your own. Put it all on paper before you build if you need plans.
