In case you were wondering, here is the build-out process for shadowboxes that we have in "build boxes". The idea is to have all of the parts cut, painted and partially assembled so the product is quicker to assemble when the order is placed. It also allows us to be a bit more flexible when it comes to custom glazing. Some of you have seen this process at York when you placed the order at our table and came back either after a few hours or the next day to pick up the completed model.
These are the steps for the Birthplace of Basketball shadowbox project. The partial assembly includes the shadowbox, elevation and the first floor recessed doors. This order is for the base shadowbox, Roscolux Grey windows with translucent behind, and LED lighting in each of 11 individual sections - the whole enchilada.
The first picture shows the shadowbox coming out of the build box.
The 2nd picture shows the windows installed with Roscolux Grey glazing.
The 3rd picture shows the back/inside with the LED lighting installed.
The 4th picture shows what the elevation looks like with four of the sections lit, without the translucent material behind the Roscolux Grey. The picture does not show that you can see into the lit sections, but you can- as clearly as if the glazing was clear.
The 5th picture shows the translucent glazing added to the back of the Roscolux Grey.
The 6th picture shows the four sections lit, this time with the translucent behind the Roscolux Grey. Notice the more even lighting dispersion and you also can not see in.
There is a separate power lead wire for each lit section. The power lead wires are color coded by floor. The ground is common for each of the three section columns. Hook them all up together to light the whole thing, only five hooked up as shown or have us program an Arduino to randomly turn on and off the lights.
