The Intelligence - Day 34
new shop lamp, top is simulated diamond plate
went to home depot and got a 10 pack of T8's, and compared them against regular T12's, the T8's win
a bit bluer but way brighter, and 8 watts less per each
formulated a set of cieling mounts for sheet rock
plunged a phillips head thru then ground out with a flat head
used pliers to delink the chains to 3 links each side, to allow 5" hang (3" is code)
theres the mounts all ready for the lamp
bladdau
closed the door and snapped some pics, no flash going off - teh woot!
theres the clear coated handle from last week. it was forgotten under a bag in a contraption
used the contraption for the handle backplate, we'll come back to this guy
Goodies!
Gemini II S, a Silenex 120 red led fan for it, another 60mm red led fan for case (1 got stolen by NB cooler), a tube of AS5, a red IDE cable for the dvd, a eps psu extension, and the heling hands man (wink)
bright light!
hahaha
decided to get busy on the black acrylic (I know somewhere Syrillian's ears just perked up)
2x2 black cast acrylic, 1/8"
scored it a few times
SNAP!
began cutting out the switch face plate and the trim piece for it
busted a blade along the way. I was milking this blad for all it was worth. it was bound to happen. no worries, replaced it and kept going
tucked the scroll saw back into its nook (castor frame I made for it is really a nice thing)
test fitted the inner part
these guys will get more work tomr
RED, she said, all I see is RED!
Thats the handle back plate getting the treatment, first coat
after three coats I put her to bed under a bag and of course forgot the pic. did a papparazzi on her ass...
rusto clear for the mobo pan
now that my drop light is free to roam I mad use of it by the door as light was fading
I cleared my test piece earlier and it turned a ghastly white within 20 mins. I have seen this before on pieces that haven had enuf time to set but this piece was painted a week ago so I am assuming the clear will clear itself. so I proceeded to prep to clear the mobo pan (big risk)
not sure why I took this pic
anyway, cleared the mobo pan and it also started to turn white. I am hoping by tomr the clear is clear. If not (by end of tomr) I will sand the mobo pan (light scuff 400), hit it with a coat of red. let it dry 48 hours, then reclear it with Krylon.
Thanks for watching
