Lighting Display

Well at last the building work is finished just a small V belt to source and the jobs a good un pics below

Thats a nice set up Abes ... how did you cut the slot out .... drilled holes and used a jigsaw .... ?

matt

could be like the rest of us matt.used a router.

Dave a router does not go that deep does it .... as by looks of it that wood is quite thick ... well you could not go that deep in 1 pass could you .... as you can only go down 1/22 at a time without putting much strain on the router ...

hi abes...
the lighting set is progressing very well,im thinking i need to come to yours to see how you have wired it up
as once my shed is all up and running i will be able to try and sort mine out,its exactly the same as yours
i was going to use it to charge my scooter batteries up when at a show...
will contact you to see the best time to come round
keep up the cracking work..regards...mike....

Great bit of work Abes, it will make a great display, something different you may even win a prize for it.

Top work,

Stu.

Cheers gents for all the comments much appriciated as said its now finished was going to put a tin roof on it but have decided against it, just wanted something easy to move around and a bit diffrent hopefully thats what ive achived.
Mike - Not a problem mate can come round any time just give us a shout do have a load of pics of the inside of the control box if you need any.
Matt - was going to use the router like the lads suggested but in the end found it easier boring a hole at each end and using the jig saw

hi abes....
i would call you but don't have a land line number for you...will have to email you or PM you on here..
mike..

abes..ive now been given you land line number by the feller from swindon..hope you don't mind...

No not at all mate, of cause you could have just asked Ian he would have given it too you lol

Hi all iam after a bit of help, had my engines running today (will put a post up later) well while i had them running thought i would try out the lighting set to see what it looked like so i belted it direct ie bypassed the gear box as still need to source a drive belt, its at this point i found i might have a small problem with the volt meter, the volt meter needle just seems to vibrate between 0 and 3 volts and does not do anything eles even when i alter the voltage setting via the generator, but the strage thing is when i re-connect it to a 12 volt battery it does exactly what it should do ie show 12 volts, the bulb and switch works fine on either generator or battery, have i done something wrong or is there something i should have done, any and all help much appriciated.

wires are the rite way round.just a thought.

Fixed it yippeeee, baffels the hell out of me how though took the wires off made some new ones wired it back up the same connected the generator to a motor ive got and Bobs your cousins sister up she went, volt meter now shows the right output and bulb and switch do what they should do, figure that lol

Could be a dry joint if there soilderd on, they tend to cause strange problems.

Stu.

i smoked a dirty joint years ago,didn't enjoy it at all...lol.lol.lol..
mike....

I found this on ebay, now this would make a good lighting display
