This turned out really nice. You always have such interesting ideas, ones I would never even think of. P.S. - I'm Andrew from Vancouver. It was nice meeting you. Glad I could help!

"Quarter of a inch maybe a centimetre". Priceless! :-)

This is an age thing. I'm in my 60s. I worked in English units for a year, then metric after that. When you did this, you can work in both at the same time. Decimal English, fractional and metric. Anyway, 6.35 mm maybe 10 mm would have sounded silly. Quarter of an inch, maybe a centimetre, was spot on.

Yep, Canadian here. Most of my rulers/tape measures are mixed imperial and metric… So it’s like: 11 and three-quarter inches, Nah that’s closer to 30 cm

Why not? As long as you're not doing math between them.

Your videos are masterful on so many levels. Editing, design, woodworking. Always fascinated by the vintage machines you use like they’re just the next thing to do. So cool to see.

Bed goes up 😀. That is some incredible thoughts and execution Frank. Massive computer skills and also thanks for sharing your family with the world. Thank you again and again Frank.

*Andrew from Vancouver is a ROCKSTAR!*

Frank's videos are so therapeutic, love to watch them.

Nightly Dinner under the Moon Light... Awesome!!!!

Frank, your architect background shows through in all your work. What a marvelous architect you must be.

Frank, thank you so much for the amount of time you spend making these amazing videos. Your style is so original and just compliments your unbelievable skills so well.

“A pool of light with darkness around you” I’d have to imagine that’s what of feels like being on the moon! As always Frank, love seeing the creativity and ingenuity.

"they call it woodworking for a reason"....exactly. Repurposing wood is highly satisfying

FRANK THE LIGHT BOXES CAME OUT AWESOME .WELL EXECUTED PLAN MY FRIEND .I LOVE IT FROM DOUG

Warmer color is also better for ”living” and cooler light is better for ”tasks”, so I think you'll enjoy that setup. Such a cool idea! Thanks for sharing your creativity!

I so admire your patient and methodical way of doing things and explaining each step!

Drilling that half circle hole using the scrap sacrificial material… man that was brilliant… Amazing looking project frank!

Are your LED lighttubes dimmable? That could be helpful. Or you might be able to add a frosted piece of acrylic or a fabric, that scatters and softens the light inside of the box. Just an idea :)

dimmer fo sho. i can never agree with the others on the appropriate brightness; even i want different brightnesses for the same fixtures depending on the time of day/mood/occasion. Gotta go with a dimmer.

I'd definitely put just a layer of muslin fabric inside the light (between the wood and the LED tubes to both diffuse the light and make it a little bit warmer) Muslin is often used in film production as diffusion as it gives a natural look.

Or flip the tubes around so that the white ceiling acts as a diffuser.

PWM ( pulse width modulation) controllers makes all LEDs dimmable.

been a fan four years, i remember when you were nervous about commentary ... your commentary is perfect! we all look forward to your happy accident giggles!

Never would have guessed Frank is a Joy Division fan

You are a visionary with no fear of stepping outside boundaries,a pleasure to watch,thanks

Your painstaking skills shine (literally) again! Nice home improvement project Frank.

Its nice to see even Frank doesn't always hit the stud/joists on the first try. I had to show my fiancé that I wasn't the only one and even master woodworkers have trouble

That cut out for the plug was a nice touch.

Frank, nice work. Anyone else think Frank's woodworking videos borderline on cinematography more so than just documentaries? :D

Epic! I think they look amazing. Two suggestions: 1. Move the outlet and long cord up into the attic as well. 2. If/when you have to take them down, you could add a some sort of gauzey fabric between the light and the wood, like a screen. This could knock down that 10%.

@chefdan87

I think a thin piece of clear polycarbonate sheet that you then sand on one side would work to diffuse the light would work best. Fabric would work but i think over time it would collect dust and be harder to keep clean.

I thought about some sort of diffuser. yeah the cord going to the outlet is more visible than I thought it would be.

@deefdragon

LEDs with dimmers are common enough nowadays that it should be possible to set up the fixture with a dimmer switch as well. This would hide both the cable in the attic, AND knock down the light level.

@MrSaemichlaus

@@frankmakes The white on dark wood makes for a strong contrast. You could pull the cord through a piece of conduit of the same dark wood color to hide it.

I was thinking a sheet of neutral density gel, could probably feed it up between the slats without having to take anything down. However, I've used those LED tubes, and while I love everything else about them, the clips (at least as of a year ago) are trash. Mine started to drop out within weeks, and I had to screw in sections of pipe hanger strip over the tubes to hold them on permanently. So you might be opening them back up anyway. =\

I love those Critter sprayers. Such a simple (and inexpensive) mechanism for spraying finishes - I use mine all the time. Bravo on your build, Frank.

“They call it ‘wood working’ for a reason” ! 👏👏👏👏 love that! I can see myself using a million different iterations of it - “They call it ‘computer programming’ for a reason” - it will be the gift that keeps on giving, and just in time for the holidays 🎄

Idk what's wrong with the KZread algorithm but I haven't seen a Frank Howarth video in MONTHS. Now that this showed up, I clicked on it and watched it like a starving man who just got food to eat. Keep the videos coming, Frank. I LOVE your content. I only wish I can own a shop that is even a fraction as good as yours and create wood work even a fraction as good as yours.

Wow that was a neat trick to create a channel for the wire connection. Oh thank you for squaring the one panel up. Makes my heart sing. Thanks also to a fellow viewer for helping load the wood Happy US Thanksgiving to you and your family 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

You are very sophisticated with technology, compared to the rest of your age group! I couldn't see my parents doing the sort of computerized work you do.

Lovely video Frank! I think the lights look great, but the source image is pretty hard to spot (which might be intentional-- perhaps the moon picture was just a way to generate a pleasant "noise" to the height). Although I doubt you want to do a similar project anytime soon, it would be interesting to see whether the 3d image might be more discernable if you made an interlocking grid (half laps galore). Maybe not even for a light-- if you wanted to make a sound proofing panel for the basement craft room, you could glue together a torsion box of half lap strips of wood, put the entire panel under the CNC, cut the design in one pass, glue in foam sound proofing, and recut the entire design but a half inch higher (so no wood is cut, avoiding getting wood dust in foam, which might be hard to clean). Guess it all depends on how sound proofing foam would be cut by a router bit/end mill, and whether you could possibly even want the room sound proofed (or maybe sound proof the TV room so people in the craft room aren't distracted by loud audio?). This is all just a viewer wishlist-- regardless of what you make next, I'm sure it will be awesome as usual and a gift to the community. Cheers!!

I has crossed my mind to make sound panels for theout basement TV room. I like your idea.

That looks really brilliant Frank I love it, No one else will have light panel like it.. Good Job.

Love the overhead camera angle on the CNC operations!

Beatiful. Form. Function. Effect. All great! Thanks, Frank.

Oh boy!!! What a journey! The end result is great 😃 Thanks for sharing.

My wife and I bought a home a year ago that we have been remodeling and watching your videos has giving me so much inspiration to get these projects finished. Thank you for the inspiration and determination and most of all the knowledge

Really transformed the space with these beautiful lights

Haha, wow, I love that overhead CNC shot! Really dramatic.

Just Wonderful! Thanks Frank!

Always inspirational to watch your projects and approach.

Beautifully unique!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wow those are goregeous light fixtures. Easily $1000.00 worth of materials & labor. The textures are very eye catching.

Such a beautiful project.

Once again, the blender content I didn't know I needed.

Overhead CNC shots are a nice addition.

I love the editing, it feels very immersive and keeps it feeling fun

Calvin grew up fast, I still remember the little boy from your old videos

This is beyond amazing.

Excellent as usual!!!

You’re so brilliant (pun intended). I love your nature sir. Absolute artistry with masterful execution. Thanks for sharing! Passion projects are my favorite and you do nothing but put in the passion.

Great as usual!

Beautiful.

Frank, you are amazing.

You are the man Frank! Love it!

This is fantastic!

Thank you Frank. Always a pleasure watching your videos 💙

this look absolutely fantastic!

It looks great!

Awseome build Frank, loved the ambiance of those light 👍

Brilliant Frank!

absolutely stunning, great work!

These are incredibly beautiful! Very bright indeed...

Nice job Frank! Thanks for sharing it with us!💖👍😎JP

So beautiful to watch an artist at work!

the light is great, but that lift blew my mind

That turned out beautiful

Man, that’s awesome!!!

Glorious, Frank

Another amazing project, Frank! Thanks for sharing all the details!

Well done! 👌👍

Love them.

Very nice idea!!! One thing, some spacers, 1", 2" or so. Ambiant lighting would make the room feeling way better. Some glow on the ceiling would make it more perfect, than it even is.

Frank thanks for sharing! You're amazing. Love what you do, I hope you keep doing it.

This looks amazing! What a great idea!

Reclaimed wood has a much better story than a sheet of plywood!

Amazing!

Great stuff!

That is an awesome looking project. Thanks for sharing Frank.

your videos make me happy

It's very beautifull ! Bravo !

Frank you're freaking awesome.

Who needs clones anymore when you now have super speed frank! Great work as always sir. Glad I found this channel

Having a set of three that are between the beams is great. Thanks

Wow, that is an impressive project. I see comments on other channels that using a cnc isn't woodworking. Those people don't get it.

Creative! Nice job!!

Always a pleasure watching your creativity and skill

Wow! Amazing results from a well done project. Thanks for inviting us all along on your journey to a wonderful idea!

Great work Frank!

Another fine job Sir

In addition to all the fantastic woodworking, this was masterful videography! I love the new God's Eye view of the CNC machine! And the time-lapses where you had many ghosty versions of you overlayed as you sanded and pieces moved from one pile to the other: A work of art! Even the sound effects, during stop motion sequences on the CNC, were so cool. Thanks so much for sharing, and inspiring us all.

The diffusion and directionality of those lights is very nice, almost cinematic. I really like the way they illuminate the space.

Very cool. I love it.

You're amazing, Frank

Looks awesome, Frank!

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

Ye gods that turned out beautifully. ❤

That lift. I love that lift!

Frank I have been watching your videos for a while now. You don't just build something but you tell a story and I have always appreciated that. I love your builds, and I really appreciate your style and execution. Cheers

Love the sky cam on the CNC table!

I didn’t know what to make of it at first but this is really creative and looks great!

The overhead shot of the CNC machine is great! It makes it so clear as to how you laid out the parts. Thank you for another great video.
