- Build article: craftedworkshop.com/build-diy... In this video, I'll show you how to build a DIY light box sign using inexpensive LED lights. I made my light box into a sign, but there are tons of options! You could turn it into wall art for your kid's room or game room, or even make a similar sign for your business' lobby. Enjoy!

Love it, dude! I really like how the colored LEDs came out. Wish I would have gone with those. Enjoy the sign!
Thanks man! Yours is way brighter though, I can barely tell mine is on my with my shop lights on.
Awesome build! The sign looks great!!
Thanks Heath!
Nice one! Last lightbox I made just used cut vinyl and you can see the bubbles, I'll have to give this a try with my cheap laser engraver.
Cool, have fun!
All signs point to a GREAT PROJECT! LOL! I really like how it came out, and walnut is the best!
Thanks man! Love me some Walnut!
I'm doing this. I have a maker Fair on Feb 4th. That would be a cool multipurpose add on. Of course I'll do something a little different since I'm not as heavy into the wood working as you.
Cool! It's a great little project, super simple to knock out in an afternoon.
That came out great, definitely spice up your booths.
Thank you!
Looks great
Thanks!
Awesome job Johnny!
Thanks Fred!
Very cool project Jonny. Loved it
Thanks Bill!
This is awesome! Might just have to bust one of these out for my next project!
+Downtime Media awesome, have fun!
looks awesome!
Thanks!
Everything is beautiful! I liked the video!
Thanks!
I am curious to what type of paint you used. I would like to do this same thing for my shop. Thank you in advance
Very nice!
+Make Build Modify thanks Justin!
Nice project!
Thanks!
Sweetness man!
Thanks James!
looks great.
+Miter Mike's Woodshop thanks!
Cool, turned out nice! You could always hit the white paint with a bit of 320 grit sandpaper. It should soften the amount on there and diffuse it rather than block it.
+Bruce A. Ulrich thanks Bruce, I might have to try that!
Great build love it, well done.

Thanks Barry!
Very cool. I think the laser cut sign making video is down? I'm wondering how exactly you did that. Was it just a piece of Plexi with a black surface, which you etched off with the laser cutter? Or did you paint the plexi to give it the black layer? Thanks for any help and awesome work.
Sweet! I'll be curious to hear how long the battery pack lasts for you.
I'll keep you posted!
Perfect!
Очень-очень здорово!
nice indeed!
+Cactus! workshop thanks man!
Quick idea: You could use glass that is frosted on One side, make that Side Face the Inside of the Frame, attach the Light all around the the inner Side of the wood-planks, paint the Inside of the backpannel white to get Diffusion and indirect lighting
That would definitely work and it’d look great!
Crafted Workshop glad you like the idea! Awesome Project
I think the lights are the issue more than the paint. I don't think you'll get nearly as bright light from a battery pack.
Yea, you might be right. I'm probably going to add another light pack before doing another event.
You could have just used white vinyl instead of pain and use a 12v LED strip. Nice work!
For sure. Thanks!
I came for the lasers but didn't see any. Awesome job though !
The sign was etched with lasers! Thanks.
Shoud have just plotter cut black vinyl and put it down on the white acrylic. I own a sign shop....you did it the hard/wrong way ;). You also didn't space your LED's correctly.
How do I go about viewing the signs you made?
