Night Light
Light up the night with four interchangeable scroll saw patterns featuring enchanting scenes that are sure to please your child.
This night light is just a box with the sides, top, and bottom made from solid wood. What makes it interesting is the interchangeable front panel that screens the light shining from a small bulb inside. We designed this night light with four of these scroll-sawn hardwood panels. Then, depending on your mood or the season, you can slide one in front of the light, and store the others in a compartment in the back of the box. We’ve included four examples for the panels in the night light. Each has a magical quality that will look nice in a child’s bedroom or sitting on a hallway table or stand. If you’re artistic, it would be easy to come up with hundreds of different ideas for your own panels.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
