Golden Retriever night light - Part 3

Made the frame that sits inside the back of the picture frame and cut out the doggie pattern on the scroll saw.

Prepared a 3mm MDF blank from scrap for for the pattern.


Using a new trick, applied masking tape to the blank then stuck on the pattern. Pattern easily removed after cutting is done.

Then applied Blue Stik to the whole thing and stuck on the pattern.

As mentioned need to make a frame that sits inside the back of the main frame that is then glued to the back of the base board.

















  

Here the frame is glued to the back board.

While that's drying…

start cutting the doggie on the scroll saw.


Phew…that's done, going out for tea so better quit now - back in the morning.

Golden Retriever night light - Part 1

As mentioned in a previous post rather the building the frame for this Goldie night light I'm going to use a regular picture frame.

I was after a A4 wood box frame but had to settle for this, pretty close see last picture.

This will be interesting, how will the glass work out?

A4 page sitting on top of this particular frame which is not quite A4.
keep looking for one.

Instructions


Samoyed night light - Part 10A

The Samoyed night is completed.

This morning screwed the stand onto the frame.

Silhouette night lights - some ideas.

Why not use a store bought frame ?



Rather than making my own base board for these projects why not buy some picture frames! A4 wooden ones cost around $10 bucks.

Samoyed night light - part 9

Hot glued the LED's and stained the stand.

A dab of glue on the four standoff's will fix the doggie to the base board.

Another new toy for kitties.
