today I show you the construction of the frame.
If you missed the first part (concept); here it is:

The frame was made out of spruce with the dimensions 2x 2000x80x60mm.
First I had to do some preparation work. (jointed, sawed and sanded)
Done with the basics.
After that I made some cutouts in the frame and cut the endings to mitre.
So that in the end the MDF panel will fit "inside" the frame.
I also cut some slots in the corners. I will use them for the lighting in the frame.
I adjusted the MDF panel a little bit to the frame, because the leather will need some space.
I drilled all holes in the frame for the screws to connect the MDF panel to the frame.
I didn't want to connect them forever together.
So I used some threaded screws and installed some drive-in nuts on the back of the frame.
I filled and sanded everything. After that the surface was very smooth.
I leathered the frame with white Imitation leather and
cut some grooves to the inside of the frame. This was for the wiring and the LED strips.
Then I soldered the LED's to some wires.
In the end I checked the work with a short test.
The main color of the mod will be black and white.
One way to add some color is light.
Blue will be the main color, but there will be some small areas with orange.
Here you can see the combination of these two colors.
To integrate this to the mod, I cut some squares,
glued them into the frame and finished the leather covering.
This is the final result in close-up.
I'm going to show you my spacers for the frame.
Servus and cu next time.
