Wooden horses and LEDs

Alrighty.
These I made a while back, but I figured they would be interesting pieces.
The first here was an attempt to create a pine chess set. I never finished of course, but here's one of the three pieces I made. I lost the others.

































I first sketched the profile of the horse on a piece of paper, then traced it onto the wood.
I then cut out the basic shape with a band-saw, and rounded everything with a Dremel tool.
Pretty fun... :)

Anyways, this one here is a stage lighting project that is top secret.
The only thing I'm telling is that it's made from LEDs, and is awesome.
There are 198 LEDs to be exact. Each putting out about 2000 MCDs. So it comes out to about 400 Candelas. Not extremely bright, but bright enough.
Here's the pictures:

































Anyways.
Thanks for reading!

Blue Keyboards and PVC Pan Flutes.

Alrighty,
I thought this was an excellent idea. I found this keyboard in the dumpster, and it worked. So I painted it.
Anyways, I'm going to start using it for shows, playing both it and drums at the same time.




































And for the second (and by me, less impressive) project. The PVC pan flute.
It's made from 1/2" PVC tied together with standard hemp.
I tuned it to the key of C, but after adding the end caps, the pitch lower by about a half step.
Anyways, loads of fun. :)
