Playing Blocks

Today No. 22 went through a dress
rehearsal.....sort of like playing blocks.
The awning was installed and the wall
in back was nailed in place....and a large
group of tubes were set in place around
the central heart (in the picture it is a
paper cut out) was taped to the wall
more or less where the finished heart
will be. The finished heart will be cut
from a well weathered piece of wood,
painted bright red with a coating of
(flux) gold leaf applied.

The finished assembly will look much
different when painted and with the
lights installed.....the lower section and
all the tubes will be lit with small LED
lights and the heart will be lit with two
LED spotlights mounted in the awning.

And Large Thanks to my sister Jenny who
delivered and set up a large round table
before I arrived at the shop this morning.
The much needed addition was put in use
right away and by noon was crowded with
assorted electronic parts, springs, wires and
etc.
