A scroll-saw shadow box is a great way for artwork and photos to be displayed. A small shadow box can add a certain sense of 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.

How To
How to drive a nails in wood
To drive a nail into wood, the first step is to select the right size and type 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. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. 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. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Your eyes should be focused on the nail's tip. Move the hammer forward and then continue to move the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. You'll have more energy to work with.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
