I've wanted to make one of these for a long time. Just got around to making it. Totally stoked about it. If your not already, connect with me on instagram.com/morediycreators/
DIY Creators the one thing I don’t have
DIY Creators lol
DIY Creators
Can u make a headgear stand or helmet stand
Maestro, just discovered your channel, just excellent. I’m using this light box (in different sizes) as ‘wall niches’ to display art and ornaments since I’m building my house with wide (hollow) walls. Thanks a lot sir!
DIY Creators I have a business enquiry. Any e-mail available?
im a photographer, i can say that you just made the top quality small studio, thumbs up man!
hahahahha
I'm a plumber, so yeah. wtf
@@k.g._szymczakI'm on the toilet right now 😅
As a 35-year video creator I can officially say this is one of the finest demo videos I've seen. Great job.
You are certainly not short on skills including woodworking, photography, and making DIY videos. There was a nice pace to your tutorial, clear, concise, and educational. Thank you.
I appreciate that you show and tell us what you did during the process to improve it, and that it wasn't part of the plan in the first place, shows what could possibly happen to us and to look out for it. I appreciate that
Kreg Jig is life for quick projects, I like the light box. Turns out a really nice photo of the subject
Yep! Thank you :D
wow! this just popped up on my YT feed this morning and it couldn't have been more timely. My husband does woodturning and I can never get a good photo of his pieces - I was going crazy trying to find a good lightbox. Perfect and just what I wanted - I'm starting to build it today. Super Thanks for such a good video.
I'm so glad I stumbled over this video. I was gonna buy a light box to photograph my products but I decided to see if anybody had a DIY build for one. This vid gave me a big confidence boost. I think I can actually manage this build. :) Big thanks!
I needed my light box to be collapsible for storage and travel, it is made from a collapsible tent cube for cats. I just replaced the colorful fabric with white cloth. Works great for the small items that I expect to work with.
I like the one you made, and I would love to have the room for one that size.
I’ve been wanting to get into photography for a while and building a light box like this may finally motivate me to get the camera out. Thanks again for the inspiration Glen.
Amazing light box, I make purses and handbags, just what I need to capture the uniqueness of my hard work on camera. Thanks so much! Looking forward to your other DIY ideas!
That’s badass what you made to hold the wood in place and create a straight frame! Bravo
Hi Glen. I am totally blown away by your videos. Where do I start. Great build ideas, great lighting and camera placement. Your background music is there but not at any level one could say is annoying, thanks for that. I so appreciate your honesty during a build because how many of us DIYers make small mistakes and curse ourselves for doing so. I really like the detail tool list you put with each build along with all of the materials you used and where to buy them. Thanks for not jabbering on about nothing when watching is all that's needed. You speak when something you've done or are about to do need an explanation. So all in all I'm a fan. Fantastic!!

Some people don't ever seem to learn, huh...They keep on putting out great content without taking into consideration that a viewers to-do-list keeps on getting longer and longer :-) No, seriously Glen...This is another excellent build that will definitely make it to my to-do-list....Keep up the great work !!
Haha, i'm trying to clean up my to-do list :D. Thanks, Mike!
Agreed!
The to-do list struggle is real :( lol
hahaha, it sure is ;-)
This is exactly what I was imagining and creating in my head. I just got a little foggy with the details. This is perfect
Man this is by far one of the best DIY Light Boxes I have feasted my eyes upon on YT. Nicely done!
I'm really digging those clamping squares. In the future, when you work with fabric, put the staples in the center and work out to the edges. Pulling gently all the way. Good build, I'll be making one, a bit smaller, in the future for taking pictures of jewelry.
Very clean job. Congrats!!! I love it!
Wow. Wow. This is amazing. So talented.
You made a beautiful thing. If I were a photographer, I wanted an easy thing to carry everywhere
Great job! I'm seriously proud of you for making this yourself. VERY well thought out and properly built. I look forward to seeing more videos of yours.
Thanks for the kind words!
Now, we need one of these, going to show this video to the joinery shop and see if they can make one, Great channel.
Wow!!! You just saved me $100 from the store bought boxes and it looks awesome!! I am making it this weekend. You rock!
You are a creative n amazing teacher of wood work n beauty.
Thank you Maryam
Favorite woodworking TH-camd by far. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, Sir! Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
Nicely done Glen!👍👊
Thanks Fred
Your video and your skill is just brilliant....really briilliant.
wow a dyi video with end results that are not pvc crap. Great stuff man!
Your craftsmanship is impressive! Well done.
great video! you can get pocket hole fillers made out of wood, which you glue in and sand flush. much faster than waiting for that thickness of wood filler
Hi Glen was it? I have been searching TH-cam and watching videos for 2 days now looking at so many videos on how to make a light-box. Most were made using a cardboard box, and I guess that does the trick and it is cheap, but your's is out of this world! I loved how once you had put the diffusing fabric on you said you wanted it to look neat, so you glued a frame over it and it just finished it off and made it look beautiful :-)
One day I hope to be able to talk my guy into making me one like yours as that way you can move it around, take it outdoors if you want and well, it just isn't going to fall apart the first trip it makes with you. LOL.
Anyway, thank you again and great looking merch!
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen..
I love your work! Thanks. Definitely sharing. Greetings from Switzerland.
I really like your version of a lightbox. I made one out of a box and tissue paper. One day I will upgrade.
Just starting stop motion videos and this video was GREAT! Thanks. 👏👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the video & cut list! 💕💛💕🙏
How are you this creative!! Nice work
greatjob, sir ... i appreciate. my greetings from Indonesia
Great job! I need a new light box and this fits the bill perfectly.
thank so much for the cutting list ! will get right on it!
वाह, बहुत बढ़िया।
Awesome 👍
Excellent video, your lightbox looks sturdy and very professional
Awesome. Straight to the point. Subscribed.
Super great ! You are awesome ! Thanks for this beautiful video !
Thanks for the video. Like many, this has been on my to-do list for awhile. Your take on the light box is well thought out, will help me save time, and gives me the push I need to build something that I've needed.
My man went IN on this.
REally good vid - thanks!
This is so cool. So far I have the saw the glue and a drill 😆 il make this soon
hahaha..this DIY is more than professional's work...anyhow..nice video
this is incredible! I plan on making one of these myself now that I've seen your video. only thing I'm planning on doing differently is making a slot at the top of the box to slide the posterboard in.
Very very good build. Ty
Great project. I get the impression that, if you're the kind of person who'd need one of these, you'd _really_ need it. The construction is simple enough that you'd need very few tools to be able to build the thing. Probably wouldn't be too hard to adapt it to a flat-pack knockdown style, either. :D
Thank you
This is fantastic. Thanks!!!
Gracias amigo por compartir tus valiosos conocimientos, saludos de Ecuador
thanx for the video it really got my creative juices flowing. so many options and versatility with this project.
Hmmmmm, thanks! But I'll be going out of my lath bundle and super cheap white poly table cloths. Just needed to understand the basics, so thanks! Will be trying to finally get good pics of my old milsurp rifle collection.
I place my diy light box on a large piece of glass and light from underneath on occasion. Nice build.
Well done bro. I hope this reaches more small business owners. Thank you... subscribed
BOSS 🏆 I NEED A
MAN LIKE YOU ✨
Gald you're back at it.
Love this n will get one for myself.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice work!
love your work's so talented and creative keep going
Once again, you knocked it out of the park...
Thanks, Jeff!
Great video! I found it very helpful when I was making my own light box for taking product shots. Thank you
They way you hid the cloth seams was really great. Also congrats for the new merch store.
Thanks for making this!!!
This is a fantastic build! Especially for creators. I have one I made using a cardboard box and its not really sturdy. This would be a beautiful upgrade.
Thank you :D! Its great for small things now I need to figure what to do for large builds :D.
How arrange lights
Good job man, 👍✅
Hi, I made one. I followed your steps. Thank bro
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Great video. Any ideas for a smaller light source? I don't have room in the shop for big lights like those. I will be making that box as I can move it out of the way when not in use. Thanks.
I like your video,it's so useful.
GREAT VIDEO MY BROTHA
This is great, I'm going to make one, thank you
I love this. Great video and I really liked how you described all kinds of different creative options.
Killer merch dude. I'm going to have to pick something up soon.
I like this box. I would only change one thing, but I might give this a shot at some point. Keep up the good work on the photography man. You've got some talent.
Thanks much appreciated!
I'm making something similar for my product shots, since you made an innner and outer frame i would have sandwiched the fabric between the two.
Thank you for the video man!
Great video 👍😀
excited for the merchhhh
Bravissimo ottimo lavoro 👍 è sempre un grande piacere vedere un tuo video 👍👍👋
This is absolutely Great.. I am very pleased with this video.. every thing is clean and direct .. very nice Job young man!!!
