✔ Learn and practice woodworking skills
Materials & Tools Used
To complete this project, I used:

- LED strip lights
- Wood glue & screws
- Clamps
- Sandpaper & wood stain
- Power drill & saw
Step-by-Step Build Process
- Cut & Prepare the Wood – I selected and cut scrap wood to the desired size, ensuring a clean and smooth surface.
- Assemble the Frame – Using wood glue and screws, I created a simple but sturdy frame to house the LED strip.
- Attach the LED Strip – The LED lighting was carefully placed inside, ensuring an even glow.
