Barbie Doll Electric Chair Science Fair Project!

Step 2 Start collecting the basic tools for this project!

These are the tools you will need to make the chair:

- a piece of wood, preferably less than 1/2 in. thick. You need the chair to be in proportion to Barbie!
- a saw of some sort suitable for cutting wood. Buy mine on amazon.com!
- a drill for inserting wires into the epoxy putty.
- notepad and pencil for taking measurements.
- tape measure.
- safety glasses that fit better than mine.
- wood glue.
- a level for better measuring.
- stain of some sort (preferably dark, like this walnut stain.) or instant espresso mixed with water to form a paste. (I started out using stain, but didn't have enough and moved to espresso paste, haha.)
- a small brush for applying stain.
- FastSteel epoxy putty or something comparable.
- 18 gauge electrical wire.
- any small lightbulb - flashlight bulbs will work best. The base needs to be pretty small!
- find something you have around the house to use for straps. I fashioned some out of an old CD binder handle. I just had to burn the ends together and taa-daa!
- a 6 volt battery, like this one.
- plastic wrap or plastic grocery bags for cleanliness!

i have an idea of how to improve your project. i am doing an barbie doll electric chair also for my school science project. and i have to do a hypothesis and all that crap. so, i am going to use 18-gage wire, and then maybe use 16 or 14 gage. and blah blah blah...see if the lightbub will glow at a lower intensity.
