UPDATE.....I wasn't happy the way my "Step Pumpkins" looked last night went it got dark......so i modified them so the light will light up the inside like it should & still be able to charge the solar battery......they look good during the daylight, then they come to "life" at night........
-
Thanks EVERYONE.......It's greatly appreciated......

No light inside.......

They are picking it up today......fingers are crossed they like it........

Awesome job Dave!! -
Finally finished it this morning.......went outside my comfort zone on this one, but am pleased with the results.........I won't be painting or staining, that will be done by the person I built it for so I hope I get a finished picture.......this was cut on my DW788 scroll saw using FD SR#5 blades (I don't have a band saw)........angles was made with miter saw......this was made from 2x4 lumber planed down to 1.125".....center hub was made from 2 pieces of 3/4" pine routed and joined together......it measures 36" from handle to handle.......I have been posting progress pics all week in the "General" scroll saw section.......comments please...... See short video here....... http://vid471.photobucket.com/albums/rr75/smitty0312/video-1474644054_zpshesv43up.mp4

Ships wheel day 4......A couple more hours of work to get it to this point this morning........still just dry fitted yet.......will assemble permanently next........trying to take pics along the way to hope inspire you......Arrgh Mates!!
-
I have NO band saw....scroll saw will get it done.......just take your time......
-
Just as an ornamental piece Charley.......doesn't have to be perfect.......that's a good thing for me....lol
-
I got the wheel round......I made a template with Inkscape......printed it out......glued it to some 1/4" luan......cut it out.......it is 26.375" wide.....then placed it on my layers (centered) then drew my lines, then cut each individual piece on the scroll saw, that takes about an hour....... next I will round over the edges on the router table.......then I have to cut 7 more handles.....pleased so far.....not sure on the center hub yet.......
-
I will be cutting it round Charley........
-
Ships wheel progress dry fitted.......now I have to cut it to make a circle........still a few "ifs" in my mind........will see if it all works out.....
-
Great find!! Great ingenuity to get it to work for you......good luck with it
