SHadowBox Update ////I was not expecting this either
A few weeks ago I completed my first shadow box for an owner whose 1870 home was demolished.
It was a family after family generation home. She picked it up tonight and was absolutely stoked. She handed me a Xmas Card and thanked me again and left. I opened the card and was very surprised to find $40.00 inside it. I called her and said you didn't have to do that. She said she was blown away by it and would of added more if she knew how nice it was going to be. See Link, to see the shadow box
Thank You,
Nova

Nova,
I'm proud of you buddy. Way to go on making a new friend and representing all of us in a good light.
If you haven't already, start keeping a list of references and pictures of your relic displays with you in your vehicle. As you build up that list and more pictures to show property owners, you will see it becomes very easy to get permission to places. I also built a shadowbox (pictured) to carry in my truck to show them. These items have really helped open the door for me rather than just showing up at someones door with nothing and trying to gain their trust.
Congrats again Nova,
MM
