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.
We need to modify that straight connection...

To a right angle connection. See more photos of this here further down the post.
In the early days of bat development (lol) it took me quite a while to come up with a solution to hold the LED strip against the edge of the MDF. The sticky backing is hopeless and hot glue doesn't work - staples do!
BTW: That 3 speed mini drill was a very nifty purchase and is used here to drill one hole for one end of each staple.
Where need we reduce the width of the staple with long nosed pliers.
Here you can see the right angle connection of the power cable and the first two staples.
Here is the path of the LED strip from inside the name cutout up over the head then right around up over the head again and back inside - phew!
Back soon...
