How to Build a Shadow Box // DIY Home Decor // Woodworking Project

In this video, we'll take a look at some DIY home decor by showing how to build a shadow box. Shadow boxes are great beginner woodworker projects because they don't have to be built with complex joinery. Plus, they can be used as the foundation for signs, display cases, or even trays.

Materials used:
8 ft 1x2
1/4 inch plywood

Tools used:
Craftsman table saw
Dewalt Random Orbital Sander
Craftsman Router

You should join your local sanders anonymous for help. Seriously though, the well timed joked really make the video more enjoyable.

Hi Brent, Shadow boxes are very popular today, they are really neat ways to display things. Looks really nice.

You are hilarious!! I was looking for how to make a shadow box and your video popped up in my search. I'm glad it did, because you have a great sense of humor and that alone makes me want to subscribe to your channel. PS... I am not a woodworker, just a crafter that balked at the price of shadow boxes at the store.

Great video!! I'm new to woodworking - what are the specific hoses you're using for the DeWalt sanders dust collection? I have the same sander and am having trouble finding the right hoses.
Thanks again.

Can you build me a 28x17 shadow box 4 inches deep?

[Dutchshedwoodshop]

Great build buddy. 💪 I see what you did with your crosscut sled. 👌

[genesanders]

Hey, White Lab, Would you please let me know the dimensions of your beautiful sled?
I WILL make one. I see it's 3/4" ply and it's double ply on the vertical pieces.

Why’d you quit YouTube? Hope you come back!

[angieandrewseyesight]

I bought a shadowbox and spent three weeks on the display but now it wont fit back into the slots? Literally one corner bent back so what do I do to actually assemble it. I am baffled?

[nellyberchman]

I make those mistakes all the time my projects always ends up like a puzzle. 😅
