Just a quick post to show my nieces lighthouse!

I was roped in to making the light bit as I have all the gadgets  :borg:  (and lots of ductape!)

The rest was made by my sister, mother and niece.

Well that's enough back story   :worthless:  So....

The windows.


The motor part... I used an old gearbox and motor ass'y from a dismantled kids glitterball. Been rattling around for years!


The lamp unit was made from a cardboard tube with a bullseye magnifier (From an overhead projector IIRC)
and a 3v battery pack with an old experimental 4 LED lamp unit containing a circuit for even running etc.

 



And the finished product.... Next to and taller than my niece  :)



And the vid....




Well, that's it. Took about a day in total. But I am poorly  :lol:




Just thought I'd share  :)
