Weekend wrap up

Busy weekend.

First of all, we proceeded to embark on a major upgrade of last year’s Jacob’s Ladder.

Not only did that one get wet and fail to work for the show, it was a little rough, and lacked some polish.

With my brother handing me a number of neon sign transformers, a new one was a no brainer.

This one is 7.5-8′ tall. 5′ ladder. Nice, copper, on a discarded telephone stand. The entire thing can now be dismantled for transport to keep the critical pieces dry should it be raining this year.

The stand needs some paint, and maybe some other touches still.

Then, our little demon collection doubled in size.

And, finally, we got around to some more work on the Stele. #1 got a good start on the front portion, though it collapsed while drying, we’ll have to fix some of that. #2 got the sides up.

Of course, what would the weekend of the 4th be without a little celebration
