Awesome project ! Great insight in the led strips. Been needing to bone up on them for some if my bar builds
Оригинально !
Now this is how it's done. Purchasing a shadow box from Michael's is not a recycle, (seen on another channel moments ago.) I love Bob. Get's the job done, edits nicely, does not drag out the tutorial with a lot of words I don't need to hear.
What a cool project! Those look awesome Bob
Love these LED strips. I have to try a project with these.
i could not understand how a computer professional guy is so perfect to make all kind of stuff.hats off to you man...
Can't believe this video is almost 6 years old. I still remember this and always wanted to give making an LED sign a go. Well, we've just created ours, happy with it!
Very cool projects! Love that it can change colors. You do some sweet stuff Sir Bob!
izzy swan Thanks Izzy! That means a lot coming from you!
Cable companies should be queuing up to employ you Bob. Your creativity and production skills are so impressive. Thanks for doing what you do.

locohombre79 Wow, what a compliment.. thank you so much!
Well done! Ive never seen the combination of the rustic/reclaimed look with modern LED. That combo has never even crossed my mind before. Awesome project.
That is very cool. I just built my CNC and I will be making some of these SOON. I also teach shop at a local HS and I hope to have my students make these too! This is something they can get excited about! What HS kid doesn't want a custom LED sign in their room!!? Thanks again!
Love the simple design, looks awesome!
Awesome project Bob, they look great.
Thanks Carl
I like the white LED lights much more. Nice crisp white. And cool idea, by the way!
One of the best uses for LED strips I've seen yet. Very well done, Bob.
The black letters really pop with the pure white LEDs, nice job!
Carey seems like a nice machine , but like the Carvewright/Compucarve it has more limitations.
Fantastic project Bob! This is a great take on a traditional "shadow box". I think everyone, if they don't make a "lighted sign" can use your techniques to make a "lighted shadowbox"...Pardon the pun. Great job!!
mdbohica Yeah, it's a great way to showcase anything in a box!
Great project Bob! Good idea using the nail hole as camouflage.
This was awesome Bob! I love the way the lights emit the light across the inside of the box
This same idea could be used for restaurants or bars. Awesome project Bob! You gave me several ideas on how to use up my growing collection of pallet wood.
Beautiful light boxes! I like products from pallets.
DAMN, DANIEL! Back at it again with the reclaimed wood DIY!
I don't even have a shop in my house, but this is honestly the most relaxing thing to watch.
Love these! The light colour of the Carvey box is much purer and nicer.
You are a great inspiration to beginner woodworkers and your ideas are very unique and sharp. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!
Nice project and use of the LED's.
I used the RGB LED's on the lower part of my young daughters bunk beds that I built and she loves them.
Great idea!
This is a really cool project Bob!
awesome. i'm about to make a box with LEDs for a university exhibition and this just came out! :)
I really like the editing of these videos. The way you explain why you're doing what you're doing is really informative, and I really like the amount you've sped things up (not too slow to be boring, but no too fast that we don't really know what you're doing). And the way they're timed together is well-done.
Sometimes I feel that when stuff is well-made it gets taken for granted, so I figured I would call attention to it. Thanks for the great videos :D
thebombzen Thank you for that! It's a real encouragement to hear things like that, so I do, sincerely, appreciate it!
Looks fantastic! Really like the Carvey one and the contrast between the clean light and the rustic frame.
The end result looked futuristic. Love this!
I just made the exact same thing from MDF and it turned out really good,
A great project to start out woodworkinng,
Thanks
Very cool Bob. It's really fun how you mix technology and woodworking in your projects.
AAAAfter looking at a couple of your vids, I must say: U sir, are my new hero! THX for uploads and the inspiration U spread!
Thanks so much!
Bob.. Terrific project.. Really liked this idea....... May have to put one of these together in the near future. Thanks
They look very professional. Can't wait to build something like this myself!
Asparagus Gaming Please share photos with me if you do, I'd love to see them!
Thank you so much for making this video! I have a number of collectables that I've wanted to mount in shadow boxes with LED lighting for display around my house. Now I have a good idea as to how to mount and display these items.
Yes! That a great idea! I'd love to see them when you get them displayed!
I like your videos, you do excellent work not only on the products, but also explaining them. Congrats!
i love watching these projects u make my son always try to make at least one of them every week
Nice work Bob. That Carvey unit looks really awesome both the light and also the nasty edge on the outside look. I need to have a play around with those LED units, they have so many applications.
***** Yes! It's amazing how much they can add to a project since they're SO easy to use. You can also cut sections and resolder them together easily.
And, I'm super jelly of his work room.
White leds are truly a combination of ROB but on a smaller scale. We can the thank the winners of the 2014 Nobel physics award for white leds
Really like this, Bob. Think I'm going to make something similar for the walls in my kid's rooms.
Nice design! I layout large circuit boards for LED Signs. Love the improv you did with this! Pallet wood is getting so big!
Very Cool !! Nicely done Bob.
Now I wish a had a Garage with all that Machineries as Toys !!!
This is pretty cool!
I love that you have all the tools for these projects!
You can put the infrared receiver of the LED controller in the corner were the cables come in.
They don't need a direct signal. Reflections are enough
i have build one my self thanks to you! The best unique and cheap adition to my souvenir shop! Thanks for the idea and keep up the good work! Kind regards!!! :D PS: I have cut the letters my self from 1cm thick plywood and painted them blue,it works like a charm!
they look pretty good that far
To get true white from RGB LEDs you can use driver with gamma correction or make it with arduino.
Great project. I have lots of Spare LED modules and strips from my Christmas Lighting. Might have to throw something together.
Nice video. I totally expected you to have your logo stand proud of the back panel. Thin dowel rods might cast some interesting shadows but the same translucent stuff the logo was made from might look a little more classy.
I have some pallet wood...this looks like a great project to make!
I just started watching your videos today and I'm hooked. Keep up the good work!
Great work,i like how you mix woodworking with modern technology !
you can get very similar results balancing the colors of the RGB LEDs ;) I have done it and the difference is not even noticeable
excelentes trabajos!!!!! felicitaciones!!!! tendré que ponerme a trabajar!!! gracias por activarme de nuevo!! saludos
Very Cool, and Got the shirt today, Thanks Bob
Cool project, came out nice!
Your work, that I saw, is great! How ever I recommend you try using 1/2 inch thick wood. It may appear more "elegant."
Really like that carvey sign bruv.
"hey i'm Bob and i like to make stuff" Dude... i love your intro!
5050 LED includes either a cool or a warm White and gives you the best of both worlds- just a thought
It would be really cool to adapt a LDR to the circuit, so the sign would light up at night and shut of on daylight! Cool video bro
Nice simply project and actually useful.
If you used reflective tape along the walls before adding your led strip lights would have given you a better reflective and brighter light! Just a thought!
I love it! Especially the Carvey box.
That Carvey is cool but WOW, what a price tag!
That was really cool!
Ps John Heisz has a short "tips" video you may want to check out. It's about using a nail gun and the nails blowing out the sides.
I know this is a super old video but I was really inspired by this and I made one for my girlfriend. All I had was a circular saw so the miters aren’t as clean but still came out really nice
Super awesome! Love it!
Lit signs are always fun and I need to try those LED strips.
These are actually sick!!
Perfect project...Bravo...for me is the best with the skateboard....
Such interesting videos... watching my 10th now maybe and I'll probably will never make any of them.
Nice project thanks Bob
Love your videos man they are an inspiration I'll take some video to show you my shop and a few things I've built
this is cool. i wish i had all the tools you own at my disposal
Daamn that's nice! Big fan over here from Germany!
How about using a RGBW strip for getting best of both worlds ? I used to use yellowish white and rgbw strips together for really adjusting the look of my desk.
you should use black tape inside the big frame to cover the 45 degree angles, it bleeds a lot of light
When doing the front of a frame, it may be easier to use a mitre joiner to make the frame before attaching it to the wood. Then you won't have gaps.
who else saw that one brad nail come out of the side
Timothy Moore That made me cringe 😂
IN FACT I SAW IT AFTER READING YOUR COMMENT AND SCROLLING UP, AND FORTUNATELY ENOUGH IT JUST FLASHED :)
Character
Bob is human...even 2 years into the future :)
I think you can put a yellow filter on the rgb "white" to make it more white. It's a lil blue.
You can use sticky tacks and you can change the words on the sign and then you can change it whenever
Hell Ya, already stoked a few ways to make this my own! Thanks for showcasing this.
Very nice love your work. Thank you for sharing.
Would be awesome if you did this again but found a way to make whatever logo is inside glow a different colour!
+I Like To Make Stuff Bob today I visited your facebook page for the first time and, I don't know why, but it was a big suprise for me to see Scout! I never knew you have a dog)) He is so adorable! ❤
:) We have two! Scout is our puppy, but we also have an older lab named Sydney. They're both in my recent One Day Doc on my second channel, in case you're interested. bit.ly/iltms-2

That's great things you make. Thank you for sharing this !
Very neat project - one of my favorites of yours.
Cool! awesome wood sign, so trendy
The colors will change depending on what controller you use as well I think. I read that some of them are poorly "calibrated" There are also much smaller controllers then the one used here. You can get them with remotes that uses radio frequencies instead of infrared, so you don't need to point at the unit for it to work. They can be completely hidden. There are also programmable led strips that you can use with the Arduino.
Didn't know about the calibration, I'll have to look into that! Thanks for the tip!
I've got another idea that would extend this project a bit with using an arduino to control the light color and brightness. It's definitely on my list of stuff to research
I've just started getting into electronics/arduino and my knowledge is limited, so I cant guarantee it's correct. Makes sense though. Different controllers would have a small difference in voltage for each channel, and that will make the colors different. (talking about the rgb strip here) Not sure if it affects white though. I have two 1m WS2812B programmable 5050 led strips that I want to make a clock with, using the arduino. Convenient, as they have 60 led's per meter. There are libraries available to control many of the digital led strips. Look up neopixels on adafruit and the fastled library. Sparkfun also has information on this.
With the larger sign, could you have made the pieces you carved as inlays in a solid piece of wood and backlight it with LED's?
get RGB w led. it has red green blue and a white diode. little bit more expensive, but worth it
wow! these look really cool!
Hey man, looks good! Some people sell RGBW led strips, it alternates RGB led, pure white led, RGB...etc
After this was filmed, did you fill in the small gaps on the mitre joints where the light bleeds out? That would annoy me too much.
Great videos!
I wish I had room to store all the gear to do it myself.
use a rgbw strip on your next project, maybe even double density.
+I Like To Make Stuff Love watching you make stuff! Definitely going to try this.
