Maestro, just discovered your channel, just excellent. I’m using this light box (in different sizes) as ‘wall niches’ to display art and ornaments since I’m building my house with wide (hollow) walls. Thanks a lot sir!

@JFKreations 6 лет назад

I’ve been wanting to get into photography for a while and building a light box like this may finally motivate me to get the camera out. Thanks again for the inspiration Glen.

@chriskennedy7321 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video. Like many, this has been on my to-do list for awhile. Your take on the light box is well thought out, will help me save time, and gives me the push I need to build something that I've needed.

@CamInglis 3 года назад

You are certainly not short on skills including woodworking, photography, and making DIY videos. There was a nice pace to your tutorial, clear, concise, and educational. Thank you.

@gerryjamieson1861 5 лет назад

Hi Glen. I am totally blown away by your videos. Where do I start. Great build ideas, great lighting and camera placement. Your background music is there but not at any level one could say is annoying, thanks for that. I so appreciate your honesty during a build because how many of us DIYers make small mistakes and curse ourselves for doing so. I really like the detail tool list you put with each build along with all of the materials you used and where to buy them. Thanks for not jabbering on about nothing when watching is all that's needed. You speak when something you've done or are about to do need an explanation. So all in all I'm a fan. Fantastic!! Gerry, Vancouver, Canada.

@Saknika 6 лет назад

Love this! Absolutely looking forward to the builds on some interchangeable backdrops and floors! I bought a cheap little light box a few years ago, and it's pretty small... so this is absolutely going on my must-have list once I have the space to store it! ♥

@samanthasky4463 3 года назад

wow! this just popped up on my YT feed this morning and it couldn't have been more timely. My husband does woodturning and I can never get a good photo of his pieces - I was going crazy trying to find a good lightbox. Perfect and just what I wanted - I'm starting to build it today. Super Thanks for such a good video.

@mikevanwieringen9883 6 лет назад

Some people don't ever seem to learn, huh...They keep on putting out great content without taking into consideration that a viewers to-do-list keeps on getting longer and longer :-) No, seriously Glen...This is another excellent build that will definitely make it to my to-do-list....Keep up the great work !!

@Uquityabtchn 6 лет назад

I needed my light box to be collapsible for storage and travel, it is made from a collapsible tent cube for cats. I just replaced the colorful fabric with white cloth. Works great for the small items that I expect to work with. I like the one you made, and I would love to have the room for one that size.

@GirladyLocks 5 лет назад

@64t120r 4 года назад

I'm really digging those clamping squares. In the future, when you work with fabric, put the staples in the center and work out to the edges. Pulling gently all the way. Good build, I'll be making one, a bit smaller, in the future for taking pictures of jewelry.

Sure glad I watched your video. I'm hoping to sell my hand carved Santa's on Etsy in a few months. Taking pictures have been very hard to do. To get the light right, this would be a great way to do that. Thanks again!! Looking forward seeing your backdrops.

Congrats on the merch and 900k subs. Keep up the good work. I like to use bondo on large gaps/holes like the pocket hole. Dries fast and sands well.

@DIYCreators 6 лет назад

Thank you! I was thinking I should have used Bondo. The one I have dries pink and I didn't want to paint.

@heidischoller4616 3 года назад

Hi Glen was it? I have been searching RU-vid and watching videos for 2 days now looking at so many videos on how to make a light-box. Most were made using a cardboard box, and I guess that does the trick and it is cheap, but your's is out of this world! I loved how once you had put the diffusing fabric on you said you wanted it to look neat, so you glued a frame over it and it just finished it off and made it look beautiful :-) One day I hope to be able to talk my guy into making me one like yours as that way you can move it around, take it outdoors if you want and well, it just isn't going to fall apart the first trip it makes with you. LOL. Anyway, thank you again and great looking merch!

@daissmusic 4 года назад

From much time to that solution I was searching brother! Thanks a lot! : )

@trivvytriv 5 лет назад

Very nice! I wondered wether pre framed canvas (like one uses for paintings) would do also a good light diffusing, too. Has someone tried it before?

Hey man cool proyect, if you feel confused about fabric in frames you could check out books or tutorials about fine art painting and the preparation of the canvas.
