And Then There Was Light

Good move. Good thinking.

Yes that is one of those!
Clever idea, so simple solution to a ongoing problem.
O love the last picture with your wonderful old work table withe the nice big drawers and the handplanes on the shelf under – and yes right by a wonderful little window.
Tat is a place to stand and dream.
Merry christmas to you and all the family my friend,

PaBull,
I gotta go with mafe…I’m looking at the shop and workbenches more than the project (although I’m stealing the idea for my lamp that’s missing the base clamp.)
I like the dichotomy….hand planes….and laptop.
Merry Christmas as well.

Pabull,
Great idea.

I just drill a hole in a 2 X 4 and clamp it on. Sometimes I drill three for four holes and add lamps if I need more light.

Russ, I could have gone with the 2×4, but i wanted something a little more aerodynamic. I might go for the 2×4 as my eye sight declines. Maybe one of those light with the magnifying glass in the center….

Pete, that sums up my shop: hand planes and laptop. And have at it, please take the idea. I did not post it because it was such a great project, I posted this so other could see…

Jim, it works, and with less parts, we have less breakage.

Mads, it is always nice to get your writing on my projects. And welcome to my shop on Christmas day.

Nomer, I don’t know about “good thinking”, I am getting too old for that.
