,

Lots of LEDs, I bought a pack of 100 on ebay (JELED Electronic Co Ltd, Hong Kong) for about $20. These are the Jumbo 10mm, white LEDs, 140,000mcd (confusing light units), and 20mA. Just get lots of the brightest you can find. I used 60, but next time I may use all 100 focused to different focal distances. These also came with 100 matching resistors (we do not require these here).

1x Capacitor - 0.47uf 250V, non-electrolytic
1x Resistor - 1K 1Watt, metal oxide
1x Square foot of white painted paneling, cardstock or such (not metal)
Drill with small bit (1/16inch) and one big one (larger than your scroll saw blade)
Scroll saw
Screwdriver
Solder, iron, etc
Masking tape
Crimp terminals are quick and easy but you can also solder
and of course duct tape, naturally! (What is a project without it?)
