Greyhound drink stands - part 1

Family request to make two elevated water dog bowl stands for three greyhounds, one for inside the other outside.

This one pops up when searching the web for ideas so I’ll base my design on that and make it higher – grey height.

ISAAC batman wall light - part 1

This is the last bat until further notice. I am closing down Al's Workshop for the rest of winter - too bloody cold. More on this in another post.

Sending the cutting template to the Canon A3 printer downstairs in my study then just pick-up on the way to the workshop.

Motion Activated Sprinkler - part 7

Decided to combine the sensor unit, irrigation solenoid and impact sprinkler on a length of pine timber. The incentive for doing this is to deter a wandering cat that is now visiting us much too frequently at night; stalking our possums and nesting birds!

 

Made a box to hold the sensor unit and now making a base support for the timber stand.

PHOENIX USB batman light – part 5

Finished this guy and ran him in Demo mode for a while to test that everything is working OK.

PHOENIX USB batman light - part 4

Modified the controller in the usual way and installed the LED strip.

This batman light is using USB LED strip lights which is a easier build process compared to the battery version although we still need to make modifications to controller and power wiring to fit everything into the confined space – his head.

 

Typical IR controller; at one end the IR diode and power cable with RGB cable connection at the other end - both need to be modified. The IR diode mounts in the centre of his head so the power cable needs to be modified to fold back onto the controller. At the RGB connector end there is far too much cable length between the end of the RGB cable and the 4 pin connector so most of that has to cut out and re-terminated.

BRIIZER batman light - posted to US

This guy was posted to US on 4th June and only just landed in LA today 4th July.

He was posted with a COVID free certificate but still wondering if he will have to hang around somewhere for two weeks doing the self isolation thing?

BlitzWolf smart watch–working well

Serengeti Lion – customer pick-up

While working on jobs in the workshop expecting a call from a customer to pick-up the  Lion picture light this afternoon - he's here now!
