Default Now I Can Shed Some Light On THAT!!

Well, a few weeks ago I put a 1/4" steel topped workbench in my shop.

The steel to is BLACK!!

If you set something on it to be worked on, there was not enough light, the steel top just sucked up all of the light.

I had a light fixture somebody had removed from their house, probably got it at a yard sale, I just needed a way to hold the fixture.

Well a piece of 1/4" x 6 x 10 steel and two bolts, I now have a new favorite light!!



The head is adjustable so the new light fixture is great for working under a tractor because it will shine up also.



The 1/4" thick base made it heavy enough that it can take quite a bump without falling over.

The fixture uses a 23 watt CFL bulb.

The two 5" bolts were leftovers from a previous project, the bolts are double nutted to the plate.

Do you have a pic of your favorite shop light!!??

My old eyes need all the help they can get!!

I don't have a picture but my favorite shop light is my Bayco fluorescent droplight. It is on a 30 ft cord on a retractable reel. No cord to wrap up afterwards.

I was telling my buddy about the light I made, and he said he had what I needed.

We went out to his shop, and he gave me this!!



He said this ought to take care of my lighting needs, at least over my workbench!!



400 watts, metal halide, nice white light.

He put up 9 of these in his shop. They were taken out of a gym.

I think he's trying to tell you that you need to work out! Sweet score!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
