Batman LE - Part 2

In this session we are going to align the middle layer LED panel with the front and screw it down.

While lining up I noticed some some of the curves on the LED panel needed a bit more trimming so did most of that on the 8" band saw and finished off on the scroll saw. Here I've cleaned up the edges with a 1/2 round metal file - not rasp.

Batman LE - Part 1C

Like the Mini Batman novelty night light returning after 2 years to pick up where I had left off this one - in early development.

I had already cut the front panel and the middle layer LED strip panel so we pick it up from there.

Mini Batman wall light - part 7 final

Happy with that, continue reading for details of this last session.

Mini Batman wall light - part 6

 I started this session by screwing down the back panel and then thought it might be a good time to actually test the lighting before any further... to spray the back panel flat black.

Good thing I did that because I have stuffed the LED strip!

From the last session the end of the LED strip run overlaps the start - not by much!

Speckles off to bed

 

WOW nice day so got the mower out and as usual after that she patrols the yard checking for new activity  in the mowed grass. She is a senior chook going on 12 so after a busy day ready for bed - before five-o-clock :-)

This photo is a culmination of the previous sessions - but not the end.

You can see how the staples secure the LED strip snugly against the edge of the MDF.

Mini Batman wall light - part 3

From the last session we are going to stat running the LED strip around the outside of the middle layer LED support panel.

The LED strip starts it's journey from the center of the bottom of the name cutout - to the right.

 From Part 1 we are cutting out the middle layer MDF panel that will support the LED strip lights.

The end convex curves are easy to cut on the 8" band saw. The
concave curve lines are harder to follow due to the width of the blade.

Here is the Mini Batman front panel, from two years ago! Went through my lighting stuff and found a auto day/night motion sensor controller with LED strip lights. With a bat this small the challenge is to fit that controller out-of-sight at the back.

Today's limited activities

For the last two weeks due to the very cold weather not been able to potter around outside or even spend time in the workshop!

Having said that did manage to spend some time this afternoon in the workshop - with Speckles - picking up where I left off a couple of years ago with Al's Mini Batman picture light (see related posts).

Anyway... after four-o-clock now and I pack up Speckles is having some more of her corn & rice platter - before we both go inside.

Speckles - let me in!

 With the very cold weather she has been sleeping inside - in the entrance foyer!

Small tarp with some hay keeps her busy before she go's to bed and when she's waiting for me in the morning to let her out.

Pixie at vet for follow-up check.
