CUSTOM Navy Shadow Box | Honoring a SHIPMATE! | 2020/20
When I go into the workshop its usually to build a custom shadow box for a retiring Shipmate. And this project is no different. This one came with very specific requirements, from the look and feel, to the inclusion of the Batman logo and quote. It all fit together beautifully, and the project exceeded the expectations of its recipient.
From the basic construction of the carcass to the intricate details of what makes this special, this long but detail video shows exactly what goes into building a shadow box to this level of customization. I hope it give you some ideas for a project you would like to commission or build for someone else!
So this video is all about learning more about turning a simple wooden box into a treasured possession that symbolize a life of service. It turned out GREAT! Check out the video and see how I did it, do not forget to put your questions and suggestions in the comments!
