189943Made some shavings yesterday and decided that I needed more light!
I put 4 four foot flourescent light above my lathe. Right now they have just regular tubes, I plan on putting the new daylight tubes in.
The lathe tool/gizmo storage rolling stand is unfinished at this point.
I will post turnings later.:)

Nice Brian, Lighting seems to be my problem, well, one of them anyways:) You seem to have it covered.

WOW! Looks great but you will need sunglasses just to turn!

Nice size shop!

Brian---I like using one day light and one warm white tube in each fixture, gives a nicer overall feel to the light. Daylights are very blue. I use the higher output bulbs. You sure have a lot of room there!

Dan- I will have to try using only one daylight tube in each fixture. Thanks for the idea.

Wow...that's a lot of light!! I only use an articulating spot light mostly.


.....Hmmmm....Maybe that's why I can't turn finials.:confused: :)

Looking good Brian. No such thing as too much light. Becomes more true for me every year!

We see what the center point of you shop is.

Looks good... Who'd have thunk that I would ever have light envy?

I've got to put some more lights in my shop... I feel more like Helen Keller than David Keller at times.
