I've got a 6 foot long strip of 12V LEDs pinned to the underside of a shelf above my workbench. Also an old angle poise lamp attached to the same shelf that I can pull down closer to the bench.

On a coupe of visits I stayed in a B&B and on another I stayed in apartment Carol had manage to source for me and fellow builder (And other Dave aka Bones). Both were very reasonable.

Wow! That’s a very kind offer, I hope I am around when you visit. It would be nice to meet you (all of us) one day. @clinton agreed! @johnnierix-boo - feels like we should have some sort of meet-up ...

Beautiful. Love the steel guard.

I admit it. I have put a bass together, and even played it. This was more of an exercise in finishing and adding a couple of tweaks to the standard approach, consistent with my general distaste for ...

Noticed the other day that the 60 cycle hum is so sensitive with my fluorescent bulbs. Moving about in different areas is a considerable difference. For sure I will go with LED. Fortunately, I only ne...

Gonna replace mine ? thanks guys

Only if you're a vampire..... or is that mirrors......? But yeah it greatly reduces shadows which is whgbI used to have an adjustable spotlight. I reckon if I got a second one it would pretty much be ...

Cheers folks - I'll check them out!

The instant bit is very good - decided I needed to replace some when I went into the other bit of the garage where the big tools live to cut something on the bandsaw - waited about half a minute for l...

Show off! I got a 1.8m long 48W number from Toolstation. I Cost 28 quid and lights up my single garage, er.... guitar workshop beautifully. And bonus is that it comes on at the flick of a switch inst...

I have done all 7 of the tubes in my garage/workshop since last Summer. You can get LED tubes that will go in existing fittings - they come with a new starter - they work well and will save on power -...

I've heard they are great - was it expensive? Where did you get it from? I need about 20!

I realised today how I can keep out of Guitar Casualty. I swapped the fluorescent strip light in my shed for an LED strip light. I can now actually what I'm doing! Apparently I've built my last guita...

Maybe we need a Keep CalmandBuild Bandsmen t shirts....

@tv1010101The world would be a better place if everyone played guitar.

Would love to experience the workshop one day. It’s a must. A much needed vacation for my wife and I in the U.K. It has been in our bucket list for we have never been and maybe prepare a meal one nig...
