A scroll saw shadowbox is an excellent way of displaying artwork and photographs. A small shadowbox can bring a sense to wonder. Seven layers of 1/4” Baltic Birch plywood can be used to create a simple scene that measures four inches by 1.75 inches. The finished piece has small details that add depth and interest. An increase in the size of a shadowbox would require more detail and make it more difficult. This is the scene from the inside of the shadow box.

How To
How to drive a nail through wood
When driving a nail into wood, it is important to first choose the correct size and kind of hammer. The most commonly used types of Hammers are claw hammers. Each kind of hammer has its own advantages and disadvantages. A claw hammer, for example, is the best choice if you need to hit nails hard. However, it's not easy to know exactly where the impact will land. A sledgehammer is great for hitting large areas at once, but it's too heavy to use effectively for smaller tasks.
Once you have chosen the right hammer for you, put your hand flat against its side so that it rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. The impact of the hammer hitting the nail should be felt. Practice swinging your hammer on a block of wooden until you feel comfortable.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Keep your eyes on the tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Try holding the hammer above your shoulder and bring it down forcefully. You'll have more energy to work with.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
