switch and lights

Next part to do was create a piece that works as part of the switch. The pendulum brushes against it and closes the circuit turning on the light.



Here it is after I had  rings burned into it with the laser cutter for accuracy then i dug them out with a chisel and bent and glued copper wire to create the "switches for each light. each set of lights has two rings.

I then taped the strip LEDs  to the hosing and soldered them all together with the switch.


I had quite a bit of difficulty with soldering at first but after a while I got used to it and my quality improved by the end. unfortunatly I ran out of black wire and had to use different colours.
