So, as the title states, I found this on the side of the road. At first. I thought it was a computer part, like a graphics card or something. it took me a moment to realize it is a PS5, but I had to search google to be sure. And sure enough, it is. I am wondering if I can just fix it, and by new siding, stand and controller for it, or if I could just get it taken to a tech repair shop. Is it possible?
Here are the pictures of the now Functioning Ulysses Lamp MKI. I cut the last hole for the switch, and did final soldering of the battery holders just yesterday in the heat. Tested her, and she works! She's not quite done as I need to figure out the battery placement, and cut the lens glass, but I have a beam shot, (if it could be called that) and the pictures of this adorable bundle of wires. One of my few pride and joy builds. As the title states, this is a memorial project for a friend I lost last year in March, he was a great man, the light, naturally, I named after him. (Ulysses Grant Cox. Yes, that is his god given name) he was one of my best friends of fifteen years. And the parts I made this with, are as follows, since I did make this serviceable: two spade connectors and liquid tape for the socket, two 1/2 AA battery holder, which fits two cr2 batteries, an inverter I pulled from a 4 watt fluorescent blacklight I bought at Spencer's, the lens will be a window glass pane section, insulated the inside with electrical tape, used two mint tins, one of which is an old Altoids tin I had lying around from a couple years ago. And the bulb? An Intermatic LZ1WU Bulb. I also used some extra wire I found on the sidewalk and tested. I have a dark shot of the hallway to show, the old Sylvania style mark? My maker's mark, which did take some inspiration from the hygrade sylvania logo, but not the main inspiration. The parts I used, part of the symbolism in part of making it, he lit up the lives of the people who cared about him. He might be turning in his grave because I made this, but it's also my way to show him I miss him, and care about him, to show him the effect he had on his friends. Especially after knowing him 15 years. Thank you for viewing this, and sorry this post went on so long. But I wanted to show my work. Also wanna thank those who took the time to read this from the bottom of my heart, you guys are real ones 💛
So, I have plans to make a flashlight (or torch depending on what part of the world you live in) to memorialize a friend I lost last year. I was wondering, when I finish making it, what tag do I put it under? Do I put it under New Product? Showcase?
