Well, leveling system or not, it looks like you did a really great job! That represents a lot of work!

The blue lights (LEDs?) in the niches are a nice touch!

Yep, a lot of graft went into it. Close up not so good It could have been.....

The LED lights are cheapo LAPP, stainless steel decking lights. Got them on clearance at Screwfix for peanuts.

Dimmer switch helps...

Neat. How to you anchor it, resin? Also how do you finish/paint them?

A quick and dirty stainless plate o/of an old door kick plate. This for the 3D printer. A rectangular hole drillled and filed to take a male Molex connector. Fitted in place of the original mains in socket. This will just have 12V on it:

Anyone point me at a cheap crimp tool for these "Molex" crimp connectors?

I do similar work, 150mm into the stone and fixed with resin, paint I get made up locally, 2 coats of anti rust primer and one or two coats of acrylic over that.

Had to make another set of creepers, last ones I made for this guy worked first time but when they hauled the gear to the surface the skippers son cut the wrong rope and the creepers decended to the depths

@Onoff I have a crimp tool from Durite for those, can't seem to find them online, think they were £40 or so though 10years ago when I got them!
RS might be worth a try or be really expensive!

I really like that.

Sorted. IEC connector and switch gone. Mounting plate and male Molex fitted. The crimper turned up. Made a reasonable job I think. All this connector has is 3 reds & 3 blacks at 12V from the externally sited PSU:

 

[MattF]

It ought be a female connector at that end.

Nope. There's a "live" lead from the PSU that's all female pins.

Apologies. Thought you were feeding power out from there. I'll go stand in the corner.

My brother's friend made him this replica cavalry sabre from an old leaf spring. He cast the handle too:
