OK, I went with "C" batteries. A fair amount of Routering and fitting to make it work. Broke open one of the AA battery holders for the connectors, spring and switch. Seems to be working better. Just ordered a "core box" router bit from MLCS that is 1" in Dia. that is the same size as the "C" battery, Once I make a template for the cover plate route out, things should go faster.

Thanks for all the compliments. Found these all on Pinterest. You may be right., I may have to go with "C's". I can router out the base. I may consider plug ins for future projects but need to get the right "grain of wheat" bulbs for that.

My wife has indicated that this may be my last schwibbogen for a while even though she did a fantastic job of painting. I may need to revisit Ohm's law at some point. I have 20 .3 Ma bulbs and my 2 aa batteries are getting hot after a while?? Do I have to go to "C's"?
-
Thanks all for your comments. My wife appreciates it too. Don, go for it. Came from Pinterest. As to the wiring. Best wire I could find was from an Ethernet cable, its solid strand. I would strip out a small section with a razor for solder and stagger and bounce back and forth to make a parallel connection. I would hot glue the wires in place. I still have one or two more to make.

Finished another Schwiboggen. This one was actually easier to cut than the last. Less blade pulls. I did not stack cut this. I have a tendency to push too hard and deform the back cut. I am getting better with my soldering. I jump back and forth on solder connections to save time. Still parallel connections. Went to a AA battery connection. Routered the bottom to make it fit. Seems to be holding longer. My wife did her usual fantastic painting. A few more and Santa's bag will be full.

Outright amazing! Your work is a fitting tribute to the person that started it.

Klingspor Woodworking show in Hickory NC
munzieb replied to Bpardue's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I'm considering attending the show this year. I'm about 1.5 hrs south. I've checked out the Facebook page and it looks good. I'd be interested in any thoughts or reflections of people that attended this show in the past. -
Have you thought of lighting from the inside? It would make for a great effect!
-
Nicely done!
-
Thanks Scrappile. On to my second Schwiboggen. Got to use up what I got. Not much space to use your lights. Routering AA battery pack into base. Probably less lights and not wandering around , only base and top. Probably less draw on battery. Getting better with soldering. Will post once I'm done in a few days.
-
BTW had to wire lights in parallel. They get dimmer the more I added in series. Checked lights after every solder so I didn't have a "cold" solder.
-
Thanks Scrappile, Not sure which lights. Bought 200 for $15.00 so I'll keep pecking away. I have 3 or 4 more patterns to work on and several battery holders. Got to use them up first. I should get pretty good soldering by then. I enjoy the cutting more.

Started my Christmas gifts early. I've down loaded several Schwiboggen plans and I thought I start with this one. 1/8" bb x 2 sides. Cutting wasn't too bad. Used 2.5" x 3/4" wide pine for base and 1/8 wide table saw blades for the slots. My artistic wife painted the outside. Found AA battery holder with switch on internet. Only place to find " grain-of-wheat" 3vdc lights at Amazon (200 in a pack) From China..... Initially bought 20awg wire but too stiff. Finally pulled apart a Ethernet cable 24AWG??? for leads. Lots of stripping and soldering. Hot Glue Gun'd wires in place. Used 16 bulbs. Battery tends to run down fast. May have to go to AA batteries or C instead. First attempt. Still learning/experimenting!

Iggy, Kind of like the front desk gives you a room next to the elevator and ice machine and then you realize your are on the highway side of the hotel.

Amazing detail! I know the chips were flying!
-
Great work as always. Back in the day when I was selling, we always asked for 50% up front to cover cost of material. That meant they had skin in the game and were a serious buyer. BTW, were you affected by hurricane Irma?
-
C'est Magnifique!! Very talented work!
-
Where the heck have you been? You burst out like a 4th of July fire work! Great work!
-
Thanks all for the good comments. I used 1/8" bb and the grill work was scary. I had to add some more bridges. Used 1/8" for backing. Stained with Ebony stain instead of paint. Afraid that contact cement would not hold well on paint. Blue Taped all the larger cut out pieces back in place so it wouldn't flop around.

Welcome Jack. Great place for scrolling info. Used to live south of you in Wappingers Falls but didn't start scrolling until I moved to SC. Maybe you can get inspired by some of those old planes at the Aerodrome!

Been off the radar for a few weeks. Had a family visit from Germany for a month. Lots of traveling and sightseeing. The saw was calling me. My brother in law used to drive a Peterbuilt in Germany and found a plan in the pattern library and started cutting. He's taking it back with him this week to hang in his office.

Bought one from Harbor Freight. A little over $40. Not top of the line but works OK. https://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?dir=asc&order=EAScore%2Cf%2CEAFeatured+Weight%2Cf%2CSale+Rank%2Cf&q=metal+dector
