Mounting nodes
«
on:

I have 5000 ws 2811 12mm nodes to mount. I had planned on using plastic strips for the trees and for the house use 1 in pvc with a hole every 3 inches.
Does anyone have any other clever ideas. Mainly speaking on mounting for my house outline. I am sure strips would have been easier but I wanted to stay uniformed throughout my display

Boscoyo strips might be in your future, buy em instead of spending your time drilling..

Ditto You will love them. Your fingers wont, but that is how we roll.

When I first start putting the nodes in the strips after about 30 or so my fingers were killing me, I was wondering how I was going to complete getting the nodes in the strips in time, then I found a little trick. Maybe everyone already knows but I could not find the answer in my searching. I ream out the inside of the stripe with a pocket knife every so lightly and it makes it very simple to get the nodes locked in.

I built a jig out of a 1' 2x6. Mark the wood with the strip pattern, then drill a 5/8 hole where the large node holes exist. You need to drill 2 node holes in the wood. The I drove 3 finish nails in different zip tie holes.
