Today was mostly consisted of me cutting out my boxes and making some final touches to my shadow box. Since I was somewhat behind where I needed to be with regards to my dioramas the day before I was somewhat behind on cutting my box parts out. I started out by measuring some of the dimensions of my diorama and shadow box. It was important to specifically measure each side because my diorama was not completely even on each side. After I measured I started using scrap pieces of walnut wood to make my boxes. I only had one miss cut out of all 8 pieces. The first step was to take the big plank of walnut and cut it down to the with of my shadow box and diorama. Then I cut the wood plank into multiple pieces at 45-degree angles. After this I used a router and cut out a rabbit food cut witch made a lip. This was for the backing that I will make tomorrow
I then used wood glue to attach the boxes together. We did not have a ratchet strap so I used tape to hold the pieces together.
I don't have pictures of what I did but I found representations on the internet.
