So today I am completing a Navy Shadowbox for a Fellow Chief who is retiring after 25 years of service as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. I am not going to show you the building process of the box itself, I have a couple of videos where I built the actual box. From a woodworkers perspective a shadow box is a fancy deep picture frame. To the recipient it symbolizes their career and years of service to our country. • The purpose of this video is to discuss what a shadow box is, how one is designed, and how the contents are selected and placed. Normally they are a square or rectangle. But they are not limited to that, they can be round, a hexagon or pentagon, or even a triangle. But in the case of this box, I went with a simple rectangle. This box is 20” x 30” and about 2 ½” deep. • The back panel is covered with a blue velveteen material that is attached with spray adhesive. Using my Ryobi 18V hot glue gun, I can secure everything to the back panel, I just need to remember to use a little extra glue on the smooth metal pieces. I always vacuum out the interior as best I can, before placing the Plexiglass front panel. You can use glass too, your choice. • Shadow boxes are easy to make, lend themselves to creativity, but the real reward in making them is seeing how much they mean personally to the recipient and how it depicts them and their service. • Helpful/Mentioned Links: • Building a Shadow Box from Scratch: • Building a Shadow Box | A Tribute to ... • Ryobi P305 18V One+ Glue Gun: https://amzn.to/2I5cGlG • Titebond Thick and Quick: https://amzn.to/2T8Xev7 • Our Sponsor if this video is Stitch 6 to 6 at: / stitch6to6 or http://www.etsy.com/shop/stitch6to6 • Thanks for watching!
