So I have been bitten by a pyramid bug for some reason.

I thought a pyramid modeled after the Luxor might be interesting, So I am going to do a 2.5X upscale of the King Tuts pyramid. 54mm MMT, Rear Ejection, Plywood base with a top made of lexan. I am struggling to find a reasonably priced, high lumen, narrow beam light for the top but I am sure something would pop up. I have found 2 very light forehead focused beams to shine down into the trail and have plenty of LED's for the sides. Should be fun, it may well end in a pile of debris, but I will have fun building it. My wife is having surgery next week so I will have some time at home looking after her to start this project.

It begins!

5/16 plywood all marked out, and base first cuts done.
