The lens is made from a strip of plastic packaging cut to width and wraped around an appropriately sixed dowel and lightly, really lightly, with a cigarette lighter. If your fingers feel hot, it's not lightly enough. Now you can cut it to fit. |

| We finally got a snow this morning - about 4 inches. Going up into the 40's though, so it will probably melt. Thanks for the kind words. I'll post pictures of the completed lights later. Paint's drying.

| This is a beauty Don - looking forward to the completion! How is the weather in your area? We in the Desert (Mojave) still have summer-like conditions (Dry and mid 70's) - we need some wet!!! |

| Good thing I did. The first one was cockeyed an didn't cover the right side well. Also had some irregularities. I think the plywood was a bit too close a fit. |
