Lights

Camera

Action.......

Removed the light unit,

Nicely sealed in.

I suspect this could be put in a pool or pond too.

Really well made bit of kit.

Tried it out, ultra bright.

Then took the actual globe down to the garage and fitted it on its little plinth.

Liking that.

Then later a test to see what it looks like with a lamp inside.

I am very pleased.

Once all the lighting is sorted, it should look neat.

While I was down there, I pulled out a 1800mm length of scrap ply and grabbed the jigsaw, a pencil and square.

Made a cross

Mickey popped over to ask for help getting onto Facebook, I love how he just grabs technology when needed and gets on with it.

Then glued the side wings on using 50mm strips of off-cut and a length of railway line used to put pressure on it all.

Next step will be to use the LED from the globe, mounting it centrally, either behind a stylised heart or on its own, and to use it as a Christmas decoration in the window.

Weekend over again.
