BEHIND SCHEDULE

NOW MONTHS BEHIND SCHEDULE

When I started Machine 22 last Valentine’s day the plan was to have it finished in September, more or less.

Not finished. But progress has been made, the top section is ready for assembly. The tubes need to be fixed in place and then a bit of finish up painting. The small hearts will be moved up a couple inches.

By Valentine’s day I should have the lights wired properly (they are only temporarily rigged now) and ready to switch on.
It has taken months to get the lights figured out but last night I did a test lighting and I must confess this is the coolest thing I ever made. It will take a little work but as soon as I have a good picture of the machine lit up I’ll post it. It looks much different with the lights on. The complications and all the rework and restarts were worth dealing with.

Meanwhile…..freezing rain, snow, sleet and more freezing rain are on the menu for today. All on top of the foot of snow we got last week things will get ugly by morning. I’ll get this picture posted now just in case the power goes out, there is ice everywhere and on everything.

Thanks for visiting…….stay home today……stay warm.
