munzieb Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) My wife has indicated that this may be my last schwibbogen for a while even though she did a fantastic job of painting. I may need to revisit Ohm's law at some point. I have 20 .3 Ma bulbs and my 2 aa batteries are getting hot after a while?? Do I have to go to "C's"?

Scrappile Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) I think I noticed that the ones at Wooden Teddy Bear us a C battery. By the way, that is another great looking one. Did you say where you are getting your patterns from, or are these your own design? Edited September 29, 2017 by Scrappile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 No you need to go to a wall adapter and plug it in. Great job on this last one btw. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munzieb Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks for all the compliments. Found these all on Pinterest. You may be right., I may have to go with "C's". I can router out the base. I may consider plug ins for future projects but need to get the right "grain of wheat" bulbs for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 OK, I went with "C" batteries. A fair amount of Routering and fitting to make it work. Broke open one of the AA battery holders for the connectors, spring and switch. Seems to be working better. Just ordered a "core box" router bit from MLCS that is 1" in Dia. that is the same size as the "C" battery, Once I make a template for the cover plate route out, things should go faster.
