    Lighting an Indoor Shooting Range for Photography

    Dave, look at the Viltrox panels as they can be powered by cam corset batteries or an ac/dc wall warts. The panels I purchased were 4x12x.75 thick. Very compact for the light output.

    Lighting an Indoor Shooting Range for Photography

    Get a couple of the variable color temperature LED light panels that can be powered by video camera batteries. I’ve got a few panels by Viltrox that use the Sony NP-F550 batteries. The panels are adjustable for both color and brightness. Amazon sells them for anywhere between $25-40 USD.

    Vape pen explodes shattering teen’s teeth

    Well the Fox article stated that Austin as they called him, requested a certain model of vape pen. It’s logical that he already had plans of souping the pen up by using sub ohm coils. Since this occurred in early 2018, I doubt we’ll ever know the truth. There was no mention of the family...

    Who has a Cat or Cats?

    LED Lighting For John Deere GT225 Garden Tractor

    John Deere parts number is AD2062R. Light bulbs don’t last long on most garden tractors due to vibration unless the bulb is on when the engine is running. The tungsten filament is brittle when cold, so vibration is the usual culprit for bulbs being out. Amazon sells a 18 watt Nilight LED...

    New Face Mill for Grizzly G0704

    If using a Grizzly mill, 250-350 rpm using lard as the lubricant and a slow cross feed speed. Cast iron is picky on cutting lube. Cutter should be .032” radius. Pointy cutters aren’t good on cast iron. Take time to trammel the head and have it squared with the table. If you see a second...

    Cordless power tools

    I keep my Makita around due to it using a keyed chuck. Just about every tool company wants to push keyless chucks. A good ball bearing Jacobs chuck will set you back close to a $100 in a 3/8” chuck and $150 for a 1/2” chuck. That’s close to the cost of the new keyless version tool. IMO, most...

    Cordless power tools

    It’s all about marketing. By claiming 20V, DeWalt sounds like it’s more powerful than other makers 18V line. Most honest companies use the nominal voltage, Black&Decker Dewalt, Porter Cable, all owned by Stanley Tools, uses charged voltage. They’re not the only one doing this. Bosch has had...

    Secret Aircraft

    The reason behind the Beluga based on the Airbus A300-600 was three fold. I was working in Toulouse France in the early 1990's at the Airbus facility at Blanac Airport.

    anyone know about old trek road bikes?

    Ragging 33, Do you know how to do tap testing? If so, a simple tap test will show if the frame is cracked. If the frame is painted, it will show through the paint. Clear coated frames are easier as you’ll see a disruption of the fiber and you’ll feel it with a finger nail. I worked...
