XBwlr · 03-06-2008, 01:56 PM

Anyone else have any opinions on what it is?

Someone else said it might be a type of chalice.

Just read thru your chronicle and I must say that hood is a very impresive build. Also the tank looks great!

I was out in the barn fiddle farting around today, and I came up with this.

Someone gave me a flashlight that was broken, but the LED's and swich still worked. I took it apart...

I kept these...

and this.

I soldered some wire to the back of the LEDs.

I found some PVC that the cone shaped thing fit in, and then I hotmelt glued both sides.

Drilled a hole for the wire.

Ran my wire and LEDs into the tube.

Soldered some wire to the switch.

Gave it a couple coats of white paint, just to make it look purdy.

And it worked!

3 second exposure full tank shot.

Didn't cost me anything. I had all the stuff out in the barn.
An old 3v adapter, the flashlight took 3 AA, 4.5v.
The wire was just out there.
Same with the PVC.

Heh... I like tinkering with stuff.
