Hi,
Has anyone here turned a planetary orrery lamp? I'm working on drawing up some rough plans for one. I'm picturing a base, a center pole, donuts for each planet with a heavy wire to support it out to its orbit. I also am planning to put a lamp up the center pole so the sun is a round bulb. The planets will each be turned balls, but I am thinking I'd have to have them hollow to keep the weight down and make it feel nicer. Has anyone done something like this and do you have any suggestions or advise for me? I think it is doable and my son is gonna love it if I can pull it off.
