Bicycle Light Steampunk Style

Step 4Drawing Conclusions!

Drawing Conclusions!
Put it all together!
Run wire, solder, realize it's too long, desolder, trim, resolder, realize it's now too short, desolder, cut new piece, reattach, perfect it... you get the idea. Afterwards sit back and admire how amazing you are. A simple lighting project that has saved my life more than once I am sure. Definitely makes a huge difference for obstacles too. I haven't run into a tree yet!
I shot my lights a little high, as I am not the one needing them, drivers in cars are. I also get a lot of comments on the nifty lantern holder. I created this out of stuff I found lying around the garage, granted I have a lot of crap period, but I am sure you do too, and none of these parts are overly expensive should you need to buy them. This project from start to finish including the painting, took me all of one night. Get out there and ride safely! Bikers need a piece of the road too!

And please, Leave me some comments, let me know how I did on my first instructable, and I apologize for the lack of build pictures! I will remember in the future.
