Building a CUSTOM Navy Shadow Box | Honoring the Retirement of a Shipmate | 2019/41
Channel: Dad It Yourself DIY
Date: 2019-10-29

One of the greatest honors as a woodworker is to be asked to build a retirement shadowbox.  This keepsake is what a member of the military receives at retirement that symbolizes the culminations of their military carrier.  

When I was asked to make this shadow box it was an honor, not only to a fellow Navy Chief, but for a true friend.  I was given free reign to design the box, and looking back on his career, the items he gave me to be included, I could not think of anything more fitting than the propeller blade of a P-3C Orion.  

What makes this even more special, is that he was an engine mechanic, and the propeller system was his primary focus during a majority of his career.  It was well received and I am sure I will be making more of these for members of the Navy community! 

Congratulations on your retirement Senior Chief!

All of the items I needed were off the shelf from Home Depot, here is a link to the products I used: homedepot.sjv.io/Q3Lox
