BUT, let’s add another ‘bump in the road’…

While installing all of the chain and beads on the top layer of the chandelier, I may have had a bit of glue on my left fingers while trying to install the others…SO my upper piece became stuck on the wires. While removing said glue with acetone, it stripped one wire.

I performed another test for lights and YAY it still worked.

THEN, I had to decide how to cover the unsightly black electrical tape used to repair the wire.

SO, I wrapped a piece of paper around my small screwdriver to create a sleeve that would cover it.

At some point in time, I WILL finally complete this darn thing and move on to my next Robotime kit. Hallelujah!

Oh, this is coming together so amazing! That was ingenious on thinking to put paper on it. If you ever run into wire wrapping frustration again on future builds, heat shrink tubing is a game-changer—just slide it on and a quick heat gun shrink does all the work. But honestly, your paper tube solution is working great and you’ve already got it sorted!

The chandelier turned out really nice, despite the issue you had with the wire! I can’t wait to see this when it’s all done, all your updates have made it look like a really elaborate build!

Oh no facing this problem almost at the end :scream:. But you handled it perfectly both the testing and the masking of the black repair tape.

Just a little more and you can finally say that you beat this little thing and did a great job at it :relieved_face:

The struggle has been real, for sure! Thanks for your enthusiasm and encouragement.

The end is in sight (nearly wrote nigh).
I admire your dedication to this build and your decision to commit to sticking to the instructions. It looks amazing.

It’s almost coming all together. It’s nice that you’ve put a piece of paper to cover the electrical tape since it’s quite noticeable.
