Title: 12 Days
Post by: Chase on June 27, 2010, 11:26:32 am

On my last post, Rick mentioned the 12 Days of Christmas project.  Some of you haven't seen it so here goes:


This is a schwibbogen stand (or pedestal).  It is 20? long by 5? wide by 5? tall.  You can see from the inside pic it has 15 mini-lights.  The top and base are Aspen.  It is glued to a ?? MDF base.  At first I was gluing little pieces to the panels so I could keep the openings clear for the light to shine through.  This wasn?t working too well and, SHAZAM!, I had (not an epiphany, but close) a BFO.  [BFO = Blinding Flash of the Obvious]  The solid base was sanded to give openings for light and screwed to the Aspen base.

I call it ?12 Days of Christmas? and it?s designed by me from a Speilman plan from one of his books that a fellow scroller (Mike Dingas I think--  thanks Mike) turned me on to.  This was a tough project.  I?ll make some changes if I do it again.  Since I stack cut the panels, I have three more sets so that will happen.  As Steve once said, ?The first time you learn, the next time you know.?  At least I think it was Steve, it may have been Cherie.

Front and back views, with and w/out schwibbogen. The 1/16 space at the top is for heat dissipation.

Pics 2 & 3

On top is a schwibbogen called Nativity IV that I designed  from a Volker Arnold pattern featured in SSWC some time back.

As always, comments and suggestions welcome.
