Re: Hey, Dusty
I recently replaced the 4' florescent light in the kitchen with a 4' led light. I didn't want one too dim so I bought a 6,500 lumen light. Turns out it really was too bright. That was the first thing out of mine and my wife's mouth when we turned it on for the first time.
It has dimable led's so I just replaced the switch with a dimmer. Now we can set it for daily use and have the extra brightness when needed.

Re: Hey, Dusty
Looks like decent progress Dusty. Don't worry, it will come together. Maybe if you are careful you can stash some of your extra stuff under the couch and under the bed.

Re: Hey, Dusty
It probably does not appear to be improving but believe me - it has. The remains of twelve u-haul boxes went to recycle yesterday. There is still a lot to do to make this a work shop again but - it will happen soon.

Re: Hey, Dusty
The "shop" is not yet ready for saw dust BUT there are NO MORE cardboard boxes except for those that have been collapsed and are waiting to be hauled off by either recycle trash or someone in the neighborhood who needs boxes.
The development where I now reside is occupied by a very significant number of military members thus a regular cycle of relocations. I live within a few miles (as the eagle flies) from the back gate to Davis Monthan AFB (part of the reason we bought here). Thus the demand for u-haul boxes of which I had many.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Hey Dusty,
It is starting to take shape. I like your color scheme. Take your time to get it right so once you start your first project you have a good flow. I can't wait to see it completed. Thanks for the updates.
