Ding-ding!
Second electromagnet rebuilt and everything is working as expected!
As a restoration, it’s pretty much complete now. Normally the finished top would be attached to the upper frame, but as I want to display it, I decided to make it lift off, so I don’t have to unscrew the thumb screws for the upper frame to see the insides.
Just need to finish off my extras on it.
I found an antique servants bell on eBay which should arrive during the week. It’s got a wood surround, which I’ll strip back and colour match to the block bell. Then I’ll wire it up and then it should be done!
My next problem is that I’ve not actually got anywhere to put it! I’ll have to have a move around!

IT’S ALIVE!!
Only running on one electromagnet at the moment. Need to recoil the other one, but I need some more wire.
I’ve obviously taken some poetic licence on the bell wiring, as it wouldn’t normally ding unless it receives from another signal box. I’m hoping to rig it up to a simple door bell to imitate receiving.
As it’s for me and not for resale, I’m okay with that. It’s also possible to revert the wiring if I ever did want to sell it.
Sometime you just have to improvise!
Recoiling the electromagnet in an attempt to get some life into it.
FibroJediMy latest test #wand creation. The handle is wrapped with real leaves, which keep their colour under glue. I then used #pyrography to burn various patterns onto it.
valentinzi30/10 Last two arolla pine spelts sections. My small carver Kalthoff axe and my Morakniv knife did a good job again today.

The first section of the fence in larch wood.
I wedged the first and last fence posts very accuratly with stones 80 cm deep. You could tie a wild bull to this posts.
Instead of using 150 cm nails, I should have used thick 120-130cm nails to nail down the crossbars. Wooden nails would have been even better. The 150 cm iron nails were a little too long and pierced some of the halved columns by a few millimetres and split some of the crossbar ends. When using thick nails on larch boards (especially near the board ends), you should always pre-drill a hole that (ca. 80% of the nail diameter), as iron nails have a strong splitting effect on larch wood (blunting the tip of the nail slightly reduces the splitting effect). I did this, but did not pre-drill.
The strong fence posts does not have to be predrilled at full lenght.
I started with wood nails, but that was too slow for the lady. The extra hour wouldn't have made any difference. After setting 8 larch wood nails, I switched to the too-long iron nails without pre-drilling. Didn't make the whole thing any better.

30/10 I also like the variety provided by the last two sections made of arolla pine wood spelts. Both larch and and arolla pine are excellent woods for outdoor use, although arolla pine prefers dry conditions. If it is not constantly wet and can dry out thoroughly, the heartwood can also last for many decades.
