Cheers for all this info Baz, you are a star.

Here's the lights I used, or similar, you can order different LED size and warmth/colour from various sellers, I also found ones with the jack plug connector so I could add an AC power adaptor to them and do away with batteries.

Remember the strips can be cut to any length in multiples of 3 LEDs - you just need to solder two connections to the flexible circuit board/strip wherever you did the previous cut, you don't need to do anything at the other end of the length.

Thanks for the tip. I'll see what I can find ;-)

. . . . Bodgerbaz, thanks for the translation, it's a big help and for the wee burst of enthusiasm again =D>

You're very welcome Gill. I hope you're pleased with the results.

Outstanding work - they look amazing.

Thank you. They were a lot of fun to make and look much better in the 'flesh'.

I've got orders for two more 'house in the forest' and two more "forest with hiker". So it looks like I won't be cutting the grass for a few days ;-)

A 5m LED strip seems to be a pretty good price, especially since they appear to be pretty bright so we may only need a 20cm (or so) strip at the bottom shining upwards. However, presumably every strip will need a 240v - 12v transformer (like below?) and the end will need to be cut off and wired into the LED strip? This is starting to work out to be expensive as these plugs are a few £££ each. How did you wire yours up?

Hi Baz, sorry for the delay, had a busy weekend.

I bought a batch of similar adaptors to those, each of which came with a free female socket so I just had to run a small strip of 2-core wire between the screws in that socket and each solder-point of the LED. I paid £3.49 each for 5 and have left them switched on for a long while before I risked giving them to anyone just in case they're dodgy/fake CE markings or whatever. The two I've used were fine and emitted negligible heat.

I figured that cost was barely more expensive than batteries plus battery holder, and that people would use it more if they didn't need to keep replacing them.

 

[Aggrajag]

This was the seller. He's selling the adaptor and female socket separately now.

[bodgerbaz]

Thank you for that much appreciated ;-)

 

[Aggrajag]

Received my 120 templates today, I must say I'm impressed with them, bit of a bargain for 20 Euros although I doubt I'll ever finish more than half a dozen of them!

 

[bodgerbaz]

Good, I'm glad you like them. I agree that there are lots that I won't cut but its nice to have a choice and you never know when you might have just the pattern for a Christmas gift ;-)

Have ordered some plugs and adapters and a 5m LED strip to see what difference it makes, thanks for the links.

If I'm not happy I have lots of other uses for them. Thanks again for the tips and advice.

 

[Aggrajag]

Thanks again for the tips and advice.

And you too Baz.

Also got my patterns today, well packaged and really pleased with them. Was worried that they might all be Christmas themes, but a really good mix of wildlife and also some really interesting fairy story ones (though the only one I can recognise is Hansel and Gretel. I feel a stint in google translate coming on )
A pity I am just finishing up stuff for a fair tomorrow, but got something to get my teeth into next week, just as soon as I make up my mind which one.....
One more question Baz, do you finish the ply in lacquer, or do you finish it? Before or after cutting? OK maybe that's two questions :roll:

 

[Aggrajag]

Baz tranlsated them all on page 3 of this thread and from what I can tell they're all in the correct order of delivery.

I simply coat my Schwibbogen with Liberon sealant using a small brush.

 

[bodgerbaz]

I'm afraid I don't coat any of my plywood work in anything . . . . I only give a couple of coats of danish oil to hardwoods ;-)

I'm happy that you're happy with your purchase Gill.

 

[Aggrajag]

115 is missing from the list (after Resting deer family) and there's no direct German translation so I've called mine Fleeing pack. The last 5 after that are correct. (Literal was something like Flying pack of wolves which isn't right at all.)

Hullo Barry & all,

First, sorry to be so late into this thread, not been too well of late, but anyway, firstly, love your latest Barry, smashing stuff.

Re German translations, I won't pretend to be an expert but I have been having a bash at it for the past 25+ years and do also have a native German (well Swiss actually) lady as a wife, so I can often do at least as well as Google translate does. So if anyone gets really stuck with German, (but not pages and pages of it please - !!!) just send me a PM and I'll be pleased to help.

Before getting a bit ill my wife and I were on the Rhine and Canals (all the way from Basel to Berlin) in late June and would you believe my wife won a quiz with the prize of another river cruise, this time to the Strasbourg Christmas Market later on this year. It's for one person only (but she's promised to take me too - nice eh?) and it's only for 4 days I think, but I'll be looking at some stuff there for sure. Bet it won't be as good as yours though Brian.

In the past I have seen some tree decorations chemically etched from sheet brass and sheet nickel silver and I reckon such could also be done on the scroll saw too. I'll have a closer look when we get to Strasbourg and think about it.

OK, "RAMBLE OFF" switch now found and selected.

Cheers all

AES

Sorry to hear you haven't been well Andy. I hope you're now feeling more chipper and on the road to recovery.

Those river cruises are brilliant and much better than a sea cruise (in my opinion) as you see so much more. The towns, villages and communities that you pass through is wonderful, and how nice to know you already have another one in the can. Marvellous.

It'll soon be Christmas Market time so almost time to get a few more ideas.

Take care buddy.
