I actually walk into other rooms in the house and look at the ceiling like, "wtf?" when the lights don't automagically turn on. Those lights provide enough light for just hanging in the garage, but they turn off on their own too... which is fun when you're three garage stalls away doing something and all the sudden it's pitch black. Then you have to dance around and wave like an idiot to get them to turn back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 those things do look bright as hell but my concern would be shadows. yes it's bright but if your working in a shaded area like the other side of the car then you'll still need supplemental lighting. i'd rather put more lower wattage lights all over the place to avoid the shadows. my plan is to add some of the 8' housings to the wall of my garage so that the side of the car is light nicely, not just the top of it.

More or less my plan too, Ryan. I currently have 4 overhead single bulb sockets, one I installed a barn light for my work bench. I'd like to keep those for every day lighting, adding an additional circuit that would have 12-16 four foot T5 fixtures, possibly more if I were to add lights on the side walls in the back bay.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted August 31, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Got some work done on the tables this weekend. It's killing me how slowly it's going, but the end result is worth it... and my wife is probably happier than I am. I'd say I was 50/50 on the day as far as weld quality goes. I had a really good bead right of the bat, then a bunch of shitty ones, then finished with a few good ones: They all look the same ground down though: Here's the almost finished leg for the console table; need to grind down a few welds, hit the whole thing with the flap wheel, then patina the whole thing: Yes, I was welding in flip-flops... no, I didn't burn myself. It's hot as fuck in the garage, sue me. Either my eyes are super sensitive (possible) or my welding mask sucks (probable), but I'm pretty sure I need a new mask. I also desperately need more light in my garage and I think I may have gotten that "project" green lit yesterday as my audience was listening to me cuss for a few hours. Fans would help too. Oh, and more garage art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah she sounds like one of those wives that doesn't understand or cares about our hobbies or toys and has a schedule that you need to make sure you're on the same page. Mine understands my car hobby to and extent and even provides goodies from time to time but when she wants something done God help you if you're not on the same page as her.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted September 16, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm getting better at this welding shit (except on the car; I suck at that)Can barely see them when they're ground down. Wish I was good enough to leave them... Maybe the next piece of furniture. Second leg burned in; still need to grind it down. And mocked up just for shits and giggles. Packed it in when it became a logistical nightmare to balance this mess and keep it all square... One cross member half welded on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted September 18, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I got home Wednesday with the intention of finishing the console table except for the patina and clear coat (not sure which variety of patina to use)... then my friend came over unannounced so I lost a couple hours bullshitting. However, in the hour I had left before "quiet hours," I managed to get the frame completely welded together. It still needs to be ground down. What a giant pain in the ass it is to keep everything square in three dimensions. In the end, I think the whole thing twisted about 1/8"... but it sits pretty level: Mocked up the top to send pictures to Linda. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I built it and kinda like it... and she's pretty stoked too! This thing is not going anywhere once I get it in the house lol.
