We talked a bit about how successful the gold frame is - maybe tray drilling small hole to put light in. - Consider touching up the photoshop job a pinch to make it look slightly less cut out Add like 1/2 inch piece of paper or something to keep the metal tabs from showing. (not huge deal just a finishing touch type deal) 

Anther way to work with the frame is to use it as a faced and then extend it a bit to give it depth. 

As far as the larger box goes, it is really on it's way even just sanding the corners/ edges a little and then staining it could really go a long way. I love the way it has moveable parts and we can interact with it changing the focus! It's great. 

Just make make make! I would aim to finish the ones you brought in this week just so you have one in the done pile. Then I would aim to finish one a week (weather it be frame or box) and have another two sketched out. If there is anything I can do to help let me know. Even if it's just keeping you company in the wood shop or helping you carry stuff to and from school - I live really close to campus!
