    Summary

    Many years ago I produced two faux movie projectors from wood to be used as spotlights in a Las Vegas entertainer's home theater. They stood about 20 inches tall. This project is based upon those projectors, scaled down considerably to facilitate producing them with my laser equipment. It measures about 6 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 2.75 inches deep.
    
    Getting decent pictures of this project has proved a bit challenging. Between different lighting conditions, camera settings, size of components, etc., I've tried my best to get good pictures and I hope you'll forgive my shortcomings with this.
