Finally, attach the picture frame to the top of the box with hot glue. Make sure that the webcam and the LEDs are positioned on the same side of the box to keep the lighting from strongly reflecting in the image.

Place a 4 inch x 6 inch mirror on the table and place the box on top. This mirror enable the downward-pointing webcam to actually be looking at the glass surface of the picture frame (alternatively, the webcam could have been mounted directly on the table looking up at the glass, but the box would have needed to be twice as tall, making it bulky and awkward to use).

Your Classy Hardwood Curio is now ready to use. Plug in the lighting, plug in the camera, and get started with Trackmate!
