I was given a gift of a Glass scorpion Way back in 2000 (makes you feel old ehh!!!) Well it was glass, so light would make it pop IMO. So I set about making a mounting for it with a powerfull blue light... This was way back before I had the lathe and mill, it was constructed in my bedroom using an aluminium project box from an electronics store on a 2x2' table with the use of a dremel style hobbie drill and a few burrs and drill bits :dremel: Well on with the show.... The inards. And the power socket and switch (the battery feed is cut off when a power plug is inserted) Then I drilled the constellation of Scorpio into the front face of the stand (it being the Sign I was born under and all!! Hence the glass scorpion!) So then it ended up like this..... (oh and the plastic than the scorpion stands on...The front of a CD case altered to fit inside ;D ) And in the dark.... Well this one is just to show you, you don't need loads of fancy machinery..... But it helps!!! ;) :thumbup: Ralph. |
