Back in the chop shop again. I'm all about some fabrication!
Today I'm going to be making some custom lights. I went perusing through some stores today, looking for things of certain shapes and materials. Kind of like when I go junkyard scavenging. I ended up in this store called "World Market". Kind of a Pier1 knockoff? Anyways, I found a mini cocktail shaker for $5 and thought it would look pretty neat as a head lamp.
Didn't get far tonight, but the plan is to just put a 6v LED flashlight head inside it and wire it to a 6v sealed lead acid battery of some sort so I can recharge it.
Turns out, the top part of the shaker looks like a good candidate for a tail/brake light too![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The shaker top has strainer holes that make mounting it even easier:
More to come.
