pretty cool idea John. Very well done.

John: I made the digital lift but haven’t got to the electric lift. I’m going to have to try it.

I appreciate this. I keep putting off making one of these, now I just have to locate my soldering iron.

Cool idea John. I may have to try this. It would be a good use of one my cordless drills that is now batteryless. It just cheaper to get a new one than to replace the battery, but converting it over to a transformer would be easy. You have inspired me.

Thanks for all the nice responses guys. I encourage all of you to give it a try – once you get it going, you’ll wonder how you got along without one before! Feel free to contact me if you need assistance.

To John Stegall - here’s your chance to buy one of those new fangled soldering irons that gets hot instantly when you press the button. I’ve never tried one, but they sure look cool. I’m still using the same $5 soldering iron I’ve had for last 15 years…waiting for it to die so I can get a new one.

Hey Karson, have you seen the Wixey Digital Router readout? It’s $79 – man, that’s a deal compared to the alternatives we’ve had in the past.

Yes I have John. It’s cheaper than I paid/
