I’m blown away how brilliantly simple this is?!

FANTASTIC!!! Even an old lady like me can make one on my own. Thank you

THANK YOU!! I have been looking for something inexpensive to make me a light box for my stained glass and yours has been the best! I am no carpenter but I now can make me that box and I loved the way you got that opaqueness needed with just tracing paper and the two panes of glass, I can now do a box better than my husband can!!!

Oh my gosh, how absolutely wonderfully you have described how to make the exact tool I need for my quilting. Thank you so much for your talent and for sharing.

Thanks for this video! I'm tweaking your plans to fit the supplies that I have on hand a bit better. You're a life saver!

Using the sides of the frame and two pieces of glass with tracing paper solved my "frosted glass" dilemma. I had a different idea for the base, but your video helped with the most important part, the surface to trace on. Thanks for the great video!

I like that there are videos like this on KZread, I learned so much :D

Thank you for the tutorial. Your idea of using picture frame gave me a right idea on which material best use to make a light box.

Thanks for posting... this looks so simple! I like that your instructions are very clear and easy to follow along with the demonstration. Will let you know how it goes!

THIS IS SO AWESOME AND EASY TO MAKE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! GODBLESS YOU KIND SOUL.

Thank you very much! Great stuff, Love your accent by the way. Keep it up mate

Way to go...Great video.... simple job....thanks....

SUPER SMART...super vid! thanks so much!

Great DIY! I made a few modifications to mine. I took large Plexiglas Frames I got at walmart that they sell for posters. I bought 6 of those for 14 bucks and they worked a little bit better since I was building a larger version plus is case of an accident it would flex if hit and not shatter.

I was about to say the same thing, but the idea is for this to be as cheep as possible. Having said that I could still make this better, safer and cheep. I will see if The king of random, or Echo Young or someone I know will do it. Because honestly I don't have a lot of time to make a video of this. :)

Man I think you are genius dude.

This should have at least 10K shares! dude thanks!

I love this. I had a huge light proofing box years ago and I was stupid and sold it. Now I wish I had it and this gives me some good ideas although I could use my screen exposure unit's yellow proofing lights. But it has clear glass. The white or frosted glass is best for proofing negatives and photographic films. Also great for tracing ;) Come get some Catspit~!

thanks man... loved it... need more from videos you

Wow! Thank you! I think I'll try it :)

Cool project, interesting video.

This is perfect. Thanks.

Very nice, thank you for the ideas. The part that I couldn't figure out was the diffuser and how to make one, two panes of glass and a sheet of tracing paper does the trick just fine.

Thanks mate. I'm making one of these.

super helpful, you rule!

thank you for this. i'm a fashion designer and i need this for my sketches

Heights of Creativity and intelligence , and most important sharing a peice of good information ... Bravo .... Keep up the great work ... Thanks for this video ...

thanks i just got threw makeing my light box and it works like a charm the only thing that i didnt have were the blocks but i used some thing else instead

awesome box!!!!! thanks heaps!

amazing idea!!! Thanks for it! We basically just need 2 identical frames with glass/plexiglass and some little stuff all diy'ers has at home! Awesome!!! I will check out the the next shop for frames and some LED lights to fix inside of it!

Sylvii Schan Yeah u can gets dollar store picture frames to use for this. I think they come in up to 8/10inch. goodwill also. I like the plexiglass idea best tho

The tracing paper in between is to make the glass opaque which distributes the light more evenly across the surface of the glass.

Hi RestlessColour, I love this simple idea. Could you please do a tutorial on how to build a light box for sand art? Would you just build an extra top section to contain and stop the sand from spilling over?

wow thank you!!! i will try this!!

ingenious!

Been thinking, I feel the most important part was the top of the box, one could easily get sturdier wood and make the box like you have, only it will be more firmer and stand some weight when tracing on the glass pieces. Great thinking....thanks!! Your are a good bloke alright!!

excellent tutor.

wow - what a great idea to use two ready made frames. I also like that you can vary the amount of light depending on how bright you need it. I've got a bunch of old negatives to go through and I'm dreading it, but this project is do-able even for me and will make my task a lot easier and maybe even enjoyable. Thanks!

Super!!!tks for sharing

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! You're a genius, I was just craving to animate but didn't have the light box to do it! (Nore the money LOL) Thanks so much!

I like background music ,,,cool

Awesome video man, this will be perfect for my tattoo designs! It was also a very relaxing and tranquil to watch you make this LightBox. Cheers brother.... :)

wowwwww this is so easy . TQ!

this is awesome A+

Nice light box

Nice idea

thank-you man

What a brilliant idea!

I like your accent so much and good job

AWESOME! :)

Good job !

an alternative to using lamp lights within are L.E.D. Flashlight miniatures or a wide face L.E.D Flash Light. They will not get hot like a lamp light and if the usage of a lamp light is applied, use a laptop fan platform under it to keep it cooled down and add vent holes to the lower back area of the box to vent the heat.

dig the ambient score.

Great video. Very well explained. My boyfriend has made one identical and it works a dream. Thanks. PS. Love the music and the accent :P

Big THANKS!!! excellent, Blessings,

nice one thankyou very much

Too easy..!! Thanx..!!

Muito bom cara! Arigatou, muito obrigado!!!😃

well done

Muito bom seu trabalho!

very very nice

Nice!!

Thanks !!!!! so much!

thanks men...

Thank you Bro

good video, great idea! i think if u cut the square wood dowels shorter (to accommodate for the thickness of the picture frame) the picture frame could sit into your box more securely.

Perfect

brilliant.

Hi nice to meet you :) great idea, thank you so much for taking time out to show everyone, very much appreciated :) Have a good day :) Magz :)

Awesome!!! now I can do this instead of using my transparent clip board and phone! ^.^ woot!

Was wearing the same plad as you while watching this lol had to do a double take

Though one other thing you should really bolt light element to side of box and letting it lay on underneath surface would be a fire hazard! To do this you could purchase a bottleneck connector there are some that come with two nuts that you tighten Usually to a metal plate to add support. Check out your DIY centre, they are usually quite cheap.

Another option for the diffuser can be white nylon which you can get from a material shop, it's what I use for my DIY softboxes.

well done you xx

plexiglas I also noticed was betting at absorbing the light straight threw and glass was reflecting a little bit of light. That way I didn't have to buy the big studio lights and instead I could just use the table tops.
