[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by howmus Bob, how did you do the lights? Inquiring minds want to know! [/quote] They are I believe from Minatronics, are 1.5volts. I used a length of brass wire soldered to a brass lampshade to keep the lights stiff; this was one of the power wires to the lights . The other wire was run down the brass wire to the lamp. Wiring was run within the beams in the ceiling. These beams were made from four pieces of stripwood to be hollow. After I got everything together I was disappointed that these small bulbs didn't actually produce much lighting inside the machine shop. So I had to add a 16 volt grain of rice bulb up in the roof trusses to provide most of the actual lighting. Notice one of the lamps is burned out. I am too - no interest in replacing it! The 1.5 volt bulbs get power from a Miniatronics transformer, the kind that plugs directly into an electrical outlet. Bob Boudreau
