nothing runs like a **** Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 OK well started of with a few bits of box section. then went and measured 60degree at each end of the bar and cut which made my triangle. went to the crappy welder in school and welded it up then grinded the welds down. then behind this i also made some supports to strengthen them. then got two bits of angle iron cut and made a bit at the back were i have put another piece of box section which acts as a pivot so the sign can have a tilt on it so it can stand freely. after that i got a piece of aluminum cut in an equilateral triangle 500x500x500 went up to a man who does all are sign writing on my dads stuff got him to put me a graphic on of a simple men at work. last week i made my Led cluster which are made from acrylic cylinders cut and then sprayed Redrock red and drilled 3 5mm holes for my LEDS and then made a simply daisy chain of LEDS and placed them on flying Leads. Mounted them on with M6 bolts and will be making my circuit this week and then i have a simple Picaxe programme which will enable them to flash on and off in a clockwise direction. Alot of filing and wet and drying has gone on through out this process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 good idea mate, but at present the roadworks act only allows clear lights to iluminate signs, and the ones on cones to flash, they have to be bulbs not leds as they say they are to bright??? i would prefer leds given i work on the road and would like to be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 the other thing to remember is, they get very bashed about, most signs like that get thrown onto and off the wagon, so leds on it will soon get broken, maybe try getting them to sink into the frame, or make them smaller?? so they dont stick out, most store them upright right against eachother, or flat with others on top,the battery compartment will need to be water proof to mate i think they have to last a minimum of 48 hrs usage at present, hence why they use the big cone mounted ones, as they run of 2 of those big square ones (the springs on top version) need any more help let me know, fullt trained up on the roadworks regs sign sizes ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if i could get away with out Leds i would but i was told that i had to incorporate some sort of electronics fo extra marks. i am thinking when i leave school of being a welding/fabricator and i could possibly make these at night or something for abit extra cash. have a welder and cutter and a good shed that my dad built so i may consider it .
