Building a double sided poster light box for there Theater\Media\Game Room
<< < (2/6) > >>

Thanks, ya after doing some more research I think I will end up building the box in the example. Sandwiching 2 pieces of plexi and using 4 pieces of aluminum L angle to screw it tight to the wood box.  Then you take a routed frame and glue that on top of the aluminum. Prime and spay paint the whole thing black.

What I am going to do different though is instead of 3 fluorescent bulbs I will have 3 sets of Nova LED’S  


This way I can make the box a bit smaller\less wide from the wall.

I just bought some of the stuff I will need a Loves today I will post some updates.

I also just bought my double sided 27 x 40 poster today. $70 but it is worth it



I think it will look pretty slick! especially since the picture is of him behind a blurry glass door and to have all that diffused light shine through it will look almost 3D

Awsome poster!  It got me to thinking... this would make a great nightlight for my little boy's room.  You know... so he doesn't get scared at night.  :laugh2:

I've actually toyed with the idea of writing a program that would just rotate images to a TV screen,  then hanging it veritcally.  Using it as a digital movie poster that rotates through a directory of images.

Problem being,  ideally would need a TV with a wireless ethernet connection on it,  and it'd probably eat a fair amount of electricity.

But it'd still make for a killer movie poster setup though...

You can find tv's with card readers to view photos. You could rotate move poster images sideways, put them on a memory card, and put the tv in "slideshow mode".

Update!

Spent all Saturday creating this guys frame
 



I also stapled in some card board in the back and using electric tape for the edge so light won’t escape. I cut the metal frame that will hold the plexie glass to the frame as well. I also found some light cool looking border trim at Home Depot. I made 45 degree cuts with my miter saw and made a frame from it. I will also use it on the sides of the box. Picture is just laying everything on top to show how it will look.









the 3 sticks in the middle is where I am going to mount my 3 sets of Nova LED’S  as soon as they arrive in the mail.
