I need a little box - 5/13/2008 8:23:29 AM    lobeycat Posts: 4013 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: online Been think about making a light box for awhile. Cost nothing, used scrap lumber I had lying around and two white pillow cases. Pinned it together with a finish nailer and glue. Took about an hour to build the frame and at least that long to stretch the screens on. The pillow case was big enough to put the sides and back on in one piece so that worked out well. Thought about making it out of a sturdy cardboard box but figured the screens would loosen after time and I only want to do it once. The only cash spent was for the inside screens. Made from red and blue poster board from the dollar store. No white and black. I'll see if they have them at Wal-Mart. There ya go...

Tacking the fabric was a hassle. Needed a woman's touch. I was pretty frustrated and just started pounding staples in as fast as I could get them out of the gun. < Message edited by lobeycat -- 5/13/2008 5:44:43 PM > _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36b6zt-P7eQ nobody (in reply to RedGinger) Post #: 13
