I built birch plywood box together by air nail gun 4 sides (left, right, top, bottom). I drilled holes of front panel of box and installed 4 rubbed age bronze peepholes. I screwed 4 corners on the front of box to the box.













I built plywood stick as ladder with wood glue. I drew shapes of tools and cut around the lines and sanded them.  I put the color wires together and cut end of wires and then I taped the electric tape wires together. I cut the strip of corkboard and weaved fishing line through the strip of corkboard. I put 3 screw eyes strip of scrap wood and then I used hot glue the fishing line for each represent (wooden shapes, wires, and strip of cork) on the screw eyes. And I screwed them on strip of scrap wood then I used wood glue to stick strap of scrap wood on the ceiling of the box.  I cut 2 squares box on sheet of cork for light box to show the items then I tighten and glued the sheet on bottom of inside of the box.

I would still practice with this project again someday so I can understand better in the future.
