Working With Metal Continued
I also made a piece that goes on the end, which is where the secrete
weapon wire
will pass through. This piece is riveted on as well.

As you can see I placed the box towards a stand-off but
that's no big deal. And I made a wall that the sparks can hit without
harming anything. The unit will just sit in the box because
once it's mounted on on the wall, gravity will keep it from going
anywhere.
|
|
I tested out this secrete device and it works great. In fact it exceeded
my expectations big time and can't wait to here how people react when
it's in use.
|
|
It's Finished
Here it is mounted on the wall with all the electrical conduit.
However, not all of the conduit is actually functional. But if I didn't
mention that little detail, you'd never know it.
|
|
This sticker was added to make it look that much better, which gives it
that finishing touch.
|
|
Here is a look at most of the inner workings. The larger
wires don't do anything but they look pretty cool, which is what Matt
was wanting. The terminal blocks are for mounting the wires that go to
the game, which are functional. And of course the secret weapon is at
the bottom.
|
|
When Matt and I were getting ready to attach the wires
that go to the audio jacks, I expected him to cut them to length. But he
liked the long wires so we left them all at 30" long. Yes, I know
it looks very crowded in there, which Matt was very happy about. Also notice some
of the wires that are plugged into the audio jacks. And also notice the
symbols next to each jack. This is all part of the puzzle that the
people playing the game need to figure out.

A close-up of the top half. The symbols were used because Matt and
Angela didn't want them labeled with numbers or letters which is much
easier to solve compared to the symbols. Plus it gives this
puzzle a little something extra having it this way.
The 18" black wires on that plug into the jacks work
great. And the plastic is supported well enough all over so that when
someone pulls a wire from one jack and plugs it into another jack that
nothing should break.
|
|
And a close-up of the bottom half.
I found out that the secret weapon works great and it
really gets the attention of whoever is playing because I know it would
get mine for sure. This project was really fun to make and I
can't wait to watch a group of people doing this game live so I can see there
reactions.
