Nice build! I really love the 45 degree mitre sledge. My table saw blade travels when I tilt it, so I might be able to use my current sledge but I am a bit nervous to take the plunge!
What you mean it travels? Maybe you can slide the sled forward with the saw powered with the blade up and tilted instead of raising it while running. Probably less scary. Or clamp the sled to the table top and then rise the blade while running. Don't know if I am making any sense to your problem.
O girl..... It was jaw dropping.... You are a truly creative person, and your workshop is like a dream.... I wish I could have a workshop like that one day
I really like your style. I mean the video editing as well as your presentation. You've quickly become one of my favorites, and I do hope you'll continue to post great videos such as this one. Oh, and I love your roof-top spray booth. I wish my work spaces had views such as that. I could spend hours up there just watching the city - but that's probably not a good thing... Thanks very much!
wow! you surprised me, i came just for a DIY softbox tutorial and I came across with a very artistic persona, in every way, so concerned about the details of construction and delicacy of your work while presenting a stunning video with identity and personality, loved your color grading. Blessin, success and good health!!! salutations from Chile :))
if you need an affordable light box for film, color slides etc. but don't want to build anything, do as i did...use a troffer light, which is commonly used in ceiling grids, you've seen zillions of them in offices, most common size is 24"x48", also 24"x24" they can be found cheap on craigslist or anywhere really, mine has led tubes while others use fluorescent..both work excellent with a frosted lens and either acrylic or glass as the work surface..google around and check it out
Bom dia, Demoiselle! Maravilhoso tutorial. Minha cunhada é grafista e vc me deu uma ideia genial de presente pra ela... Um grande e forte abraço desde França!
Probably somebody else commented this but you should just have used a white interior. White reflects more light than a mirror and it diffuses light (which is what you want). Would have made it more even.
Hola Christiana I'm really enjoying your videos, so impressive. Could you tell me what make/model your table saw is if you time? Keep up the good work!
Great video! I was wondering the depth of your lightbox - in inches. The lightbox I made when finished did not show the picture I wanted to trace as sharply as yours. Thanks for any suggestions or help.
I'm building a faux door and I'm wondering what thickness of plexiglass to get, so it can defuse the led strip and still be able to let through enough light to simulate daylight. 2-3mm should be enough?
Great job. A lovely box. I've looked at a few lightbox tutorials now. Some put the LEDs around the side, some put them on the bottom, facing up. Can you explain why you put them on the sides? I would have thought the illumination in the middle of the box would be weaker as a result... is it not? (I'm planning to make an A2 lightbox) Thanks!
Get Hands Dirty Would you recommend this saw to someone that would fold it after every use and puts it away? How is the fence, how wide boards can you saw whit the fence?
Joël van Dam I don't fold it very often, so I cannot really give an opinion on that, but it seems sturdy. The fence is great. Very reliable, and comes from factory perfectly calibrated. When clamped, doesn't move at all, I'm really happy with it and you can rip boards until 64 cm wide.
Hi there! Thank you for this awesome video. I had a question for you. I have made a similar lightbox for myself in the past but got a dark halo in the middle of the square. How do you get the light to be completely even all the way across? I ended up using strips of leds on the back (instead of side) panel. But then the light comes out striped. Please advise! thanx :)
+Yaminay Nasir Chaudhri Hi Yaminay, well it depends on the lightning power of the LED strip and the size of your light box. This method I'm using works fine for lightboxes that aren't too big, although in this one you can still see a liiiittle bit of a darker center but nothing that would affect photography work or drawing. To your problem: The more distance you have from the LEDs on the backer board to the white surface, the better. And the closer the strips are sticked together the better. Probably what will work better in this case is to add much more strips...stick them about 1 cm apart and you probably will end up with a really even light effect. But again, if the box is too shallow I guess you will need to cover the entire backer board... You can then use an LED dimmer to lower the light intensity because it will probably get really intense.
+Sebastian Kaczorowski In these videos I compose the tracks with digital samples but I've been playing instruments since I'm pretty young and you can find some music in my personal channel Cristiana Felgueiras. :)
Buy used. I pick up great deals at garage sales and from contractors who retire. Bought a 1950s Sears combo table saw/jointer all solid base/steel with separate belt driven motors for 50 bucks. Probably going to sell it after my next project.
Ron Naida let's try it again idiot! What if we are poor and can't afford buying all those machines? Seems you didn't understand the question in your little mind
Please don't bring any violence to the comments section :) Well, I was and still am poor and didn't get all the tools you see at once. I've been buying stuff over almost 6 years now and of course that when you really want something you need to make sacrifices and invest in that thing. You can't expect machines flying from a tree so you focus on what do you want to build and then search for ways to get it with what you have. Also you can do an easier design in this case and many steps here can be made with other tools, you just need to be creative and think for a bit ;) And the tools I own are not expensive anyway. They are not top quality ones or anything. Follow your passion, save for it and invest on it. I don't own a tv or a big apartment, for example and I choose to spend my money on these tools and materials because this is what moves me and makes me happy right now. And by being active in making, new opportunities arise and more possibilities come to life. You cannot make omelettes without eggs. You cannot expect to build stuff out of wood without having at least a handsaw to cut it.
Didn't think I needed a light box until I watched this!!! Very impressive...not just the fabrication but how the whole video is put together. Artistic, to the point without wasted "dead space", creative, and the uses for the box and photos was a bonus. Kudos, my hat's off to you my friend!
My god, all those tools, I was hoping to see something more DIY-like, but damn, you need to spend so much money to make something similar to your panel... nice video, thought.
Darbin Orvar Thank you, Linn. I made several art works in the last three years that are light boxes with images printed on a special photography translucent paper sandwiched between two glasses, but this clear white translucent type, it's actually the first one. LED is awesome!
Hi Dirty hands. That is a very nice light box! I built one very similar for my daughter (she is an artist). I don’t think mine was as exact as yours but it turned out pretty good. I added a nice antique caring handle. Someone asked in the comments about all of your machines and the money involved and you answered perfectly. “Follow your passion, save for it and invest in it.” I have a family of 4 but I have always wanted to build things, so I looked for used tools wherever I could find them. It took me several years to find the starter tools which I used to build more tools benches and work tables to convert my hand tools to table tools. I really enjoy watching your videos and I learn from them. Thank you for that!
Trimming that goofed edge on the router table was a stroke of genius! The true mark of a master is not that she never makes mistakes, it is the grace with which she repairs them. As always, love your work!
@@goolgehatter1597 Hey pal, glad I could be there for ya. Did YOU make a light box, or were you just looking for ancient comments buried deep under old RU-vid videos that invited snide replys? Either way I'm glad you were able to post something that made you feel better about yourself. Go get 'em tiger.
@@codysergeant1486 Dude! how did you even find this comment!? Watched your one video. Not Bad. Making videos is such a pain, but the thing about yours was the synthetic voice, especially the way it says F*** that S***. Cracked me up! Corsair turned out OK. I've got one I started about the same time you made that video. Still haven't finished. Too busy working on real airplanes now. Cheers
@@christopherdahle9985 I am pleased to know that you enjoyed my video, making it was really a pain in the a$$, you need to typ in everything the computer voice says by hand. To be honest the paintjob was quite bad, but it was also one of my first models that I made haha. I just found your comment as I was searching for a cheap light diffusing material, I am building an photographic LED enlarger right now but I am somehow too greedy to buy a "professional" diffusing material and look into what other people use as diffusers. I just thought that your answer to this guy below your first comment was kinda funny and thats why I replied. Cheers from another content creator!
Não sei se estou com mais inveja das suas ferramentas ou do lightbox (tb sou fotógrafo). Descobri seu canal faz alguns dias, vi que você é portuguesa (apenas pq você fez um vídeo em português, seu inglês é perfeito ;) ). Apenas não entendi uma coisa: o que você faz? (espero que as diferenças entre português do Brasil e de Portugal não deixem essa pergunta ofensiva, quis perguntar qual sua principal ocupação, já que em vários momentos você demonstra que o trabalho com madeira é um passa tempo). De qualquer forma parabéns pelo canal, ótimos vídeos, ótima edição. Continue fazendo vídeos em inglês (acredito que para vocês o sotaque brasileiro deva ser meio incompreensível assim como o de vocês as vezes se torna complicado para nós, em inglês todos nos entendemos). :D
Olá Raphael, obrigada desde já pelas tuas palavras de incentivo :) Sou portuguesa sim e percebo muito bem português do Brasil. Tens que estimular o ouvido com português PT :p hehehe Respondendo à tua pergunta, neste momento estou mais dedicada à criação destes vídeos. Sou artista plástica de formação e trabalho pontualmente com a Casa da Música na criação de workshops e espectáculos musicais, musicalmente e mais frequentemente como cenógrafa e aderecista. Um abraço para esse lado do atlântico e até já! :)
Parabéns Cris... Muito bom de saber que conhece meu idioma. Belo trabalho... já sou inscrito e vou continuar visualizando seu canal. Depois queria ver o seus outros trabalhos de arte, se puder deixar um link para acesso.
Hello! I noticed that your light box is rather high (in my opinion). Does the height matter? Is it comfortable for you? I want to make a light box, but I prefer flat box like a tablet (3 or 4 sm high). That's why I' asking. However, I'm very impressed with your carpenter skills. Amazing work!
Hi! When using this method of sticking the lights in the border, the closer they get to the face board, the darker the center will be because the light don't have much space to spread around. On the other day I was thinking about another solution to make a light box that is really really shallow but I haven't tested it yet. I will probably make a video on that soon though ;) Of course you can always use tons of strips and stick them to the backer board so they are facing the white board...but you need to apply them very very close, otherwise you will end up with with a striped looking box. Give it a try! You can always unstick it and rearrange stuff. And you don't really need such a nicely done box. You can use thick cardboard or wood with butt joints and a few screws. It's up to you. Make it with what you have and how you want and allow it to be "yours" :)
Thank you for explanation! It became much clearer. I suppose that I should get a piece of acrylic glass and than try different combinations of LED strips and height of my box :)
there're other methodes to build a Light box too, but more complicated ones. I'm planing to build such one, of an old computer monitor. But this would need a bit more know in electronics, unfortunately.
Do you mean LCD monitor? I've thought about it, but I need a rather large light box. Now my husband and I build our box. It's 60*50*4 sm (shallow as I wanted). We use white acrylic glass (LT 30%) and LED strips as a light source. Our know-how: strips are divided into three sections, so I can turn them on separately.
Thank you so much for this video. Yesterday I made a light box using this video, it works so well! I don't have space for carpentry so I found a wooden drawer which I used as the base. It's not as pretty as yours but the LED strips and reflective tape and everything is amazing.
