Step 4Wiring
I used small red leds driven by a 9v batt, the driver causes them to go in a circle, I got it from Ramsey Electronics,
the orginal project used only one LED but it powered 2 just fine, this was a pain in the butt.
run the wires off to the side and hook them up to the board.
I used a canned air bottle from my air supply, it was empty so I cut the bottom off and soldered a 1/2 x3/4 copper plumbing reducer,
I trimmed it down and drilled a hole in the side to fit the valve, the paint was removed and stained with stained glass lead tinting solution, it turns tin lead and several metals a copper color, I topped it off with some clear red paint, the bottom is a pressure guage.
The hose is a steel gas line with the ends cut off then soldered to the top of the copper fitting and the other end gets a flat round plate with 6 holes for the wing nuts, ( I heated the wing nuts with a torch to discolor them) the tube was painted drab green
