Lightbox

So I've attempted to document the making of my light boxes, I joined a group session for making light boxes wherein I put together a small A4 sized box, mainly for practice and just to get a feel for the different machines down in Woodwork. It came together pretty easily and meant I had a chance to talk to Roger about what was possible.


Out of preference I chose some dark plywood to work with rather than MDF, although the MDF was cheaper, I didn't want the box to be painted and the plywood looked so much nicer. I chose a hexagon, going with the regular polygon theme - the relevance being that it is made up of six equilateral triangles. The process wasn't that difficult, especially with the level of help, in proof of the use of lots of numbers and maths, heres some scans of my notes from the couple of days I was in woodwork...



So this is what the light box looks like, pre-perspex and artwork...
