      Very Clean.

      I keep thinking that is something I might find at Ikea. Swiss low profile style with modern accent lighting.

                @ayekaye Very nice looking build. Being no handyman myself at all, I'v the uttermost respect for people who can build something like this from scratch.

                How is it attached to the wall? How do you access its interior for maintenance?

                When will you install the girls? 😄

                Is that yours? If so, do you have a thread or the like with more pictures and information? Its also a very nice build.

                  looks nice, my only concern would be that their appears to be no ventilation for air flow?

                    @clyde Thank you, yes its mine.
                    (There is a old thread somewhere on here with some info and pics.)
                    Its diy, made the plans, cutted it etc. Its made with 10mm foamed pvc.
                    It has a key powerswitch, leds in the marquee and in the bottom.
                    This is its current look, not hanged up, Im about to move.

                      @clyde I learned some carpentry specifically to build this. I did not know much at all before building this. It hangs on the wall with 2 French cleats. It’s very sturdy and can be lifted off the cleats for maintenance. I can lean on it with my feet off the ground.

                        @mark1986 there is an 1/8in gap around the whole back to let the led light shine through and airflow. If heat becomes an issue I could certainly add ventilation or even a fan.

                          @dipkid Great work. The second photo shows it way better.

                          @ayekaye Very formidable. Especially since you learned the skills along the way.
