 * [[image:DSC06474.JPG width="271" height="231" align="left" caption="circuit"]] || Here is a photo (in order) of the LED lights, the soldering iron, soft silver wire, pliers & christmas tree circuit with componants. ||
 * This is the back of my christmas tree circuit with a LED that needs to be soldered. The rest of the componants have already been soldered.
 * [[image:wooden-box.jpg width="245" height="253" align="left" caption="Clamps holding sides together"]] || This photograph portrays my piece at the beginning of making. The sides & parts of the back areheld together with PVA glue & clamps. ||
 * This is the back of my piece, with the slidding 'door' to access the battery (when it needs to be changed) or to turn on the christmas tree circuit. The lid has not yet been added because I needed to be able to place the fluorescent rod (see photo above, left) into the drilled holes. On the rod, I added the christmas tree decoration with a silver hoop that I later soldered.

 * [[image:DSC06715.jpg width="256" height="256"]] || This photo shows the back of my piece, now with the lid glued with PVA glue. The slidding 'door' is easy to remove, with a square handle. ||
 * I designed 2 'blocks' to support the battery. These 2 'blocks' support the battery when the piece is being moved around & is more practical because the battery is hidden by the christmas tree circuit. || [[image:DSC06754.jpg width="244" height="244" align="right" caption="Detail of battery supports"]] ||
 * [[image:DSC06713.jpg width="226" height="268" align="left" caption="Piece with circuit inside"]] || This is the front of my piece, with the christmas tree circuit attached with a silver hoop (which has been soldered) to the fluorescent green rod. ||
