A scroll saw shadowbox can be used to display artwork or photos. A small shadowbox can add an element of wonder to your display. Seven layers of 1/4” Baltic Birch plywood can be used to create a simple scene that measures four inches by 1.75 inches. The finished piece has small details that add depth and interest. An increase in the size of a shadowbox would require more detail and make it more difficult. This is the scene from the inside of the shadow box.

FAQ
How do you know which tools are the best for you?
When shopping for tools, it helps to think about your needs and preferences. Do you prefer metal or plastic handles? What size of nails and screws do your hands use most? Do you prefer to use hand tools or power tools?
How can my shop be organized?
The first step toward keeping your workshop clean and organized is to set aside a designated area for storing tools. Your tools will stay sharp and ready to go when they are free from dust and debris. Pegboard hooks can be used to hang tools and accessories.
Are there any other things I should know regarding woodworking?
It is easy to underestimate how much work it takes to make furniture. Finding the right kind of wood is the most difficult part. There are so many varieties of wood available that choosing one can be difficult.
Another problem is the fact that not all wood has the same properties. Some woods will warp over time, others will split or crack. Before purchasing wood, you should consider these factors.
Are you a genius in order to master woodworking?
No. Woodworking is not rocket science. Anyone can learn to use basic powertools and techniques to create beautiful work of art.
How often should new supplies be purchased?
Over time, you may need to replace your tools. If you are using hand tools, you will need to sharpen them frequently. And if you're using power tools, you'll need replacement parts periodically. To avoid buying too much at once, try to spread your purchases out over a few months.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
-
Connect the pieces. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
