Now my poor little shop is like really dark. I found a buddy in maintiance dept at the local hospital. They are for evermore remodeling the place. I got 20 four bulb 4' florecent fixture four 2 bulb 4' and 5 two foot 4 bulb florecent fixtures free. Just available when they were ready to take them down and had a truck there waiting and it replaced the dumpster. now when my buddy comes and wires them in my 1600 sqft shop will glow when the lights come on. now if i just could do that. i mean get my ,lights to come on :p

Al I am not sure what part of my post your replying to. If it is the "now if i just could do that. i mean get my ,lights to come on " I was talking about my head :).

But the main jest of my post was i bet many would like more lighting and I bet many know someone that works in places like that where they junk perfectly good stuff. These light were not over a year old.

A maintence man once told me that you can tell the age of a shop owner by the amount of lighting he has to have.
1600 sq ft I am jealous. course I would never be able to find anything,

Is that a lot of old customers from when the family was in the cabinet business found out i had started buying tools again the phone started ringing wanting me to start back building cabinets and furniture. I have been out of the cabinet business since 1986 we sold out in 1990 and people still want me back to building. I guess it is good to know my family and i left the business with still a good name

Tell them you don't do cabinets anymore,,but if they would like a nice carving you could fix them up. Wala back in business that you may not want to be.
