11. Connect the long leads on every other LED to short lengths of 20
    gauge red wire, as shown in Figures 10-20 and 10-21.
    Figure 10-20 shows a gap where no red wire is strung across the tail of
    the dolphin. One of the LEDs at the tail with a long lead has only one red
    wire attached; the other has a 2' 20 gauge red wire attached, which you
    connect to a terminal block on the breadboard in upcoming Step 20.


12. Solder the red wires to the leads, as shown in Figure 10-21.


13. Clip the LED leads just above the solder joint.


14. Make sure that the LED leads and solder joints don’t touch each other
    and then coat them with liquid electrical tape to help prevent any
    shorts if wires are bent or pushed together.


15. Repeat Steps 6–11 for each dolphin until you install and wire the LEDs
    for all five.


16. Chose a location on the plywood sheet to place the battery pack so
    that you can reach the on/off switch.
