Day 8: Cutting Shadow Box and Gluing Frame - Isaak

The morning was spent cutting out the layers for the shadow box and gluing them together with foam core between each layer. The rest of the morning was spent cutting out the frame for the shadow box  then cutting a rabbet in to all of the frames, the small rabbet cuts at the back gave the projects a board to rest on, I had to cut the board for the shadow box wider not because the box was bigger than the diorama, but because I needed room for the battery pack to be placed. The afternoon was spent gluing the wood together using wood glue and a special tape method. In addition to this I had to cut a paper frame to cover the exposed foam core and to help it stick better in the wooden frame.
