I worked on lighting today! Finally bit the bullet and went LED. It was going to be $24 for a new fixture to match the old one, or $70 a pop for a new LED flush mount set from Lowes. I nabbed two they are set up for wiring to a box above the light, and in a shop that doesn't work (well, if I had known I could have put in boxes) so I drilled and added some 16/3 cord. They have an odd 2 second delay when turned on but WOW...they are bright. Each tube for my old set was 32w, this is 40w. Pretty stoked!

Can you put a dimmer switch on any LED light, or does it have to be a special unit? I've been shopping lighting myself. I work quite a bit slower than you though!

Only some are dimmable, mine do not specify so it's doubtful. It should be more and more common the longer you wait tho! Haha

I have it on the lowest setting (600w) and the thermostat low, and I am in shorts and a T shirt. There is still ice outside, we are near freezing. I think the insulation was a success!

I've been trying to devise a simple but effective tray for my misc metal scraps. I was thinking about having a nice piece of aluminum bent up, maybe cutting a pvc pipe in half.... Then it came to me. Gutters pretty cheap and very effective

Could you pretty please take a nostalgia sized close-up picture of the Optima silver transparency you have wisely framed. It brings back both memories and regrets of having assembled a car on one, including grease stains and then throwing it away....
Just wanted to show off my new hobby room. Around this time last year I moved into this house which had a virgin basement. I finally was able to build a dedicated hobby room! This is what I came up with. Room is only 10x10 but has plenty of counter...

Awesome hobby room. 8)
You should recover that cub yourself. It is not as hard as it looks, especially when its only one color.
well, saw the other post, thought I would show off a bit. Keep in mind I just got it finished, and am in the process of unboxing and trying to sort through crap I havn't seen in a few years due to not having any place to work on things. Well, more...
