    1. I have read a few of your fables. You should have wrote one where the moral of the story is not bust a man's chops on his blog for a misspelled word.

    2. No chops were busted in the writing of that response.
      CW has a great blog, which I have linked to and recommended often and widely.

    1. My first thought too. I have a couple of sets left, including a set of 57'

  4. I've got a pair of old chrome covers from a Mercruiser , a few 3" Halogen lights & some stainless steel wire from outriggers, think I'll make a set to hang over my workbench. After a beer run before the rain gets here.

  7. Make it even cooler, have the piston rod pins and main bearings swivel so you can move the lamp forward and backward.
