Perfect for a porch or walkway, this fun and easy lighthouse project is a great way for do-it-yourselfers to add a little nautical flair to the "home port" this summer. Topped with an eco-friendly solar pathway light, the project casts a steady glow for several hours after sundown-all without wires to install or energy bills to pay. Built primarily from a single sheet of plywood, the lighthouse is inexpensive to build. Wooden pegs, paint and a solar-powered outdoor light (available at most home and garden centers and online) round out the materials list. Designed with simplicity in mind, the project includes full-size traceable patterns (for the curves and angles) and features modular construction. The base, tower and top are built and painted separately, then stacked and fastened together with screws. The lighthouse stands about 5 feet tall and is 22 inches in diameter at the base.
