Last fall when I removed the swing-out stop sign from the side of the bus, I decided to keep it in case another purpose for it arose. Recently I decided to make it the heart of a building project I would do with my almost-six-year-old grandson Edison. We would mount it on a base, swap in LED bulbs, add a power supply and a switch, to make it into a ginormous night light. While adults new to tinkering might find some useful information in this episode, the primary audience is kids. Together we use a power drill, power screw driver, soldering iron, volt meter, heat gun and more. I didn’t want the project to lag, either for Edison or for the viewer, so I made and painted the wooden base before hand, off- camera. It’s made from two, 1 foot long pieces of 2x4 lumber, both pieces notched in the middle to form a cross. I used a router bit to round off the edges, so it would look a bit less like a cross made from 2x4 lumber. I made brackets from 1.5 inch angle iron I had around. Using an angle grinder I cut off this strip from one edge of the stop sign. That made the sign symmetrical. Click the image below to see episode 20 on my YouTube channel.
