Couple of evenings making these parts from MDF.
There is a red and a green glass lens and not shown, a pair of solar powered decking lights.
Can you guess what it’ll be?
I’m really enjoying the X-Carve with MDF, nice clean cuts and ultra accurate pocketing and cut outs.

Looks almost like a train signal to me. Planning on running a railroad? 
Guess it was too easy Dan 
Not a whole railway but a garden ornament of a signal. Had the glass which are genuine British Rail signal glass for a while, wife is a railways fan and we’ve got an X-Carve. Seemed natural really.
Needs some paint and a little construction so hopefully done over the weekend. Aiming for something like this, below.

Dang, that’ll make for a cool-looking decoration! With LED lights, it’ll look really awesome at night, too. Heck, as far as that goes, rig up a microcontroller and a motion detector or something to change the signal based on nearby movement.
I need something like that for my garden when the deer come around to visit the “salad bar”
Triggered by a motion sensor and a ding-ding-ding sounder and moving flags it should scare the not so little ditch rats off.
Mind the Gap!
Sorry…

Looking cool, man!
Just needs a final polish and mounting on a pole.
Solar lights all working, will try and get a picture after dark.

Dark enough to here now for the solar lights to automatically switch on. Hope that confusing signal doesn’t cause a train wreck. 
Finally got around to pole mounting the signal, added a finial and also carved a small sign.
Our local railway is the Great Western Railway, or G.W.R. So for the wife, Elizabeth, it’s E.W.R, and 004, or number 4 being her lucky number.
It’s carved in anodised aluminium and worked out nicely.
Cheers

Nice job.
I’m tempted to do something similar, but being a Train Controller, I’d never live it down…
