Country property name sign - part 6

Here is a outdoor mock-up of the sign with Jasmine in the background and Cactus up front. Found a timber post behind the garage to knock up a sign post.

Solar panels for property name signs

Solar panels - anyone know where I can get 5V panels like this one which is no longer available from Jaycar (see previous post).

Solar LED strip lights for property name signs

Not willing to pay like $35 bucks for solar LED strip lights. Crikey…that would kill the price point.

Scroll saw clean out

After using this for the last couple of days the easiest way to clean the saw is take it outside and give it a blast with the cordless blower.

I don’t bother with any dust extraction.

Country property name sign - part 5 update

Here are night photos of the sign but before I took them stuck some white paper to the inside of the back panel and yes it does improve the lighting effect but not really captured by the phone camera.

Fitted and screwed on the back panel, then removed it. Found a length of 5V LED strip and taped it around the inside of the sign frame.

Looks good considering there's still a lot of light around with the 'shade mesh' curtains drawn.

Spent this session cutting the back panel from the same fence paling and boxing in the sign.

Making a frame that will be glued and tacked onto the back of the sign. The strips of timber I am using are from a carton of ALDI garden stakes, very handy for woodworking...
