Cob LED Work Lights Set Up

[@dalejones4186]

Love your videos Kevin. Thanks for being real.

[@ChrisB257]

Thanks Dale :)

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Now that is first class, much better idea than assembling your own from components.

[@ChrisB257]

Hey Harold - well so far they seem pretty OK. Now to use them and make more chips! :)

[@skiptracer8703]

Pretty Nifty Chris I definitely like the light on the lathe. -Jim

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Jim - now just need to get to making more chips!

[@rvinothkmr]

Stay well old man. I have learned a lot from you. Love from India.

[@ChrisB257]

Thank you very much :)

[@83gt17]

That whole dog incident is borderline psychotic. I hope the police take it seriously - someone who thinks of doing something like that is probably dangerous to have around.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi - I'll add this- There's no proof as yet but the suspect guy everyone is scared of spent 20 years in jail for manslaughter I am told and apparently hates people! Whether there's a result remains to be seen.

[@terrylarotonda784]

Sorry for the rant. Getting back to your video great additional lighting. As we get older there doesn’t seem to be enough light. This would do the trick. Good job.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Terry - No probs re the rant - yes, I think the lights will be an improvement. ATB

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

What a brilliant idea!

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Jeffry, thanks. :)

[@kevinhamling4675]

G'day Kevin here from Australia I always love the look of your shop. Would you be able to pan out with the camera to get a better look of your shop and maybe a tour

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Kevin, I did do some tours of my chaos shop long ago actually - it's always a mess. Can't find a video right now but I think somewhere among my early videos was something on that - might be on this page where I was starting to get into some shop time - www.oldmansshop.com/vid-pages/shop-videos-index-01.php Very basic early days!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

That was a good mod to the lights to make them more useful - mag bases are so handy for a number of things (most often my cameras are on mag bases!). And yes, that is very disturbing what happened to the dog. Definitely needing the authorities involved, as trying to solve something like that citizen-to-citizen can often turn south.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Everett - was glad to get lights usable - still need to experiment with positioning. The dog thing is yet to be resolved - if it ever does.

[@chieft3357]

Hi Chris, I see you and your's are doing OK. I was wondering about you and the severe weather coming your way. You know me, I can waffle with the best of them, LOL. Sorry to hear your back is still giving you fits. Good work on fixing some work lighting. It's always a good thing to have around. ATB, Jim

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Jim - yes, not too bad apart from this age thing!! We have had some awful weather and some flooding but nothing like the poor folks down south - have to be grateful for that. Hoping for some better temps to get a bit more shop time. ATB.

[@GarryFullerSr]

Very Nice Chris.

[@ChrisB257]

Thanks Gary - sorry the waffle-to-chips ratio was not too interesting! :)

[@michaelmurray9154]

That's a very disturbing incident with your sons dog. Someone capable of that, is likely a dangerous individual. I hope they catch the a..hole. Hope you keep us posted should any new info surface. Nice lights. Us old guys need all the light we can get! Tc, Mike

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Mike, I'll add this about the dog thing - There's no proof as yet but the suspect guy everyone is scared of spent 20 years in jail for manslaughter I am told and apparently hates people! Whether there's a result remains to be seen.

[@brandontscheschlog]

What would the diffuser do? Change the color?

[@ChrisB257]

Not so much color as just soften the light a little. it's a bit intense currently. Trying to find something like a jug of water which is fairly thin plastic and not bad for translucency.

[@brandontscheschlog]

ChrisB257 gotcha. I don’t think I’ve ever had a light that was too bright nor have I had one that could focus on my working area and not have shadows or dark spots. Lucky you !

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

those work pretty good I would say , AWESOME !!

[@ChrisB257]

Thanks Shawn.

[@pierresgarage2687]

Someone that needs to kill an animal uselessly is in my books a little on the sick side... Like you mentionned, a proper diffuser will greatly improve the diffusion and avoid intense glares, it will provide a much softer lighting and very clear immage. As you maybe have on your camera, if you want to avoid wandering focus, use the manual focus feature for when you do turning, in order to have focus switch between the part and the chip pan, same on the milling machine, this is what I do and it solves my problems. Lately it's been quite warmer and for much longer period of time than what we're use to have, with lots of humidity... Hot, but way better than freezing, not looking for Winter again...!!!

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Pierre - we suspect the culprit is indeed sick - he's apparently spent 20 years in jail for manslaughter and everyone is scared of him - nut job it seems. Yet to have any result from the cops. I hope to find something suitable as a diffuser - possibly some thin poly like from a water jug. I did for some while use manual focus but did find at times I still didn't set it quite right because hard to see for sure in the display screen all the time - might have to go back to that - laziness probably! I've noticed on radar that you could well have had the heat and humidity - it has gotten very old. I sure don't relish freezing but maybe for a few weeks of fall it'll get more comfortable.

[@pierresgarage2687]

I got a Canon camera, manual focus is quite effective, just not to forget to set back to automatic or re-do focus when changing scene...

[@shadowfox929]

Chris, my condolences to your step-son and his family on the loss of their pet. Three weeks ago we lost our Lab, Shadow, to Canine Lymphoma so I know how he must feel. Hopefully, there is a special kind of hell waiting for that heartless individual that shot his pet. Also, I know what you mean about not being able to work in the shop. I manage to get in 10 or 15 minutes and then the heat and humidity drive me out. Don't overdo.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Dave, Thus far the cops don't have a result but the suspect is relatively obvious. Local nut job who spent 20 years in jail for manslaughter it seems - folks are afraid of him!. Looking fwd to a couple of fresher days but yes, the heat and humidity sure do limit shop time. One extreme or the other! ATB.

[@poplarhouse]

Glad to see you back. My sympathy to Cody and his family. There's no excuse for harming a dog to satisfy a grudge with a neighbor- the guy is obviously a psychopath.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Charles - thanks for dropping by. I'll add as I have to some other comments - There's no proof as yet but the suspect guy everyone is scared of spent 20 years in jail for manslaughter I am told and apparently hates people! Whether there's a result remains to be seen.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

That is a really disturbing incident about the dog, I hope they find out who did it, proving it could be a difficult task . The LED light is really good, no more quivering filaments in a light bulb, and as you observe, no heat, I often get a nasty burn when consentrating on the job I am doing, it can really make you jump.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Chris - we are ever hopeful something will be found out but not holding breath - some people are O2 thieves!!

[@Daledavispratt]

Just goes to show how low some people can stoop in life..worthless piece of trash, whoever did it. The new lights make a big difference. I have halogen lights on my lathe, but they do generate some heat, for sure. Nice to see you again, Chris! :-)

[@ChrisB257]

Hey Dale - thx for dropping in. The lights are quite pleasing - now just need to get in the shop and use them! The dog thing really has got us pretty p'd off but no idea yet whether they can pin this on the person we strongly suspect.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Chris I've been watching your weather on Sky and you have really copped it, I can't work in my shed when it's too hot you lose concentration and, well I make mistakes. It doesn't matter when you produce a video well at least not to me you own health is the important issue. The story you were telling us about your Sons dog there are no words to describe how somebody could do do that, your right when you called them a low life "baste rd" I hope that the Police can pin this bloke down, he's dangerous! It's good to see you again and I get the feeling this would have been a difficult video to do, anyway mate the lightening I might give it a try all the best your friend from Tassie. John.

[@ChrisB257]

Hello John, Good to see you too. Yes, we certainly have seen many extremes of weather this year - I am just lucky we didn't get the worst of the hits here, so far. The dog thing is as yet unresolved but sure hope someone gets held responsible - whoever it was is a low life.

[@richknudson5137]

I also use the same sewing machine lights on my mill but I love your new lights. Never a good reason to shoot a dog, unless it is extremely vicious or attacking.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Rich, I haven't got the exact link any more but those were from wish.com - oh hang on - here's a link - www.wish.com/product/586611709c763a4f48333a9b You may need to relieve much same as I did depending on your mounting approach. The suspect in this dog tragedy it seems is no friend to anyone, human or animal. :(

[@joefalmo5528]

damm sorry to hear the dog story. I hope the bastard gets whats coming to him

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Joe - we continue to hope the culprit will get caught - apparently the cops plan some interviews yet.

[@michaelmcclain5091]

Where did you get the led panels and the goosenecks? Words appropriate for the fatherless mixsscreant who shot the dog like get one arrested these days so I say no more!

[@ChrisB257]

Michael, Someone posted a link for goosenecks - I'd had mine for ages but maybe this will help - snakeclamp.com - haven't checked it out thus far. The lights were from wish.com - seems at the moment they are super cheap - www.wish.com/product/586611709c763a4f48333a9b As yet no arrest with the dog deal - still hope the cops can get a result.

[@thepisteoffice]

Get your son to call Winston Wolf to clean up the car.

[@ChrisB257]

Maybe! :)

[@userwl2850]

What a horrific story.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Dave - I'll add to what I have already mentioned to some others - There's no proof as yet but the suspect guy everyone is scared of spent 20 years in jail for manslaughter I am told and apparently hates people! Whether there's a result remains to be seen.

[@RobiSydney]

I have degenerative Arthritis in my back and knees, plus gout, plus chronic kidney disease. Makes it hard to work quite a bit. You don't get dead stink out of a car. Hmm 5/8-27 is the thread size I see in the specs.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Robi - old age sucks! Frustrating how things go wrong one by one! Well, yes thread is in theory a 5/8 but initially when I assessed it is seemed below that - no big deal anyways. Dead stink - true, it'll never be removable completely.

[@mauriceeley621]

Hya Chris just got in from walking our Sprocker and Cocker Spaniel sat with Cuppa tea to watch your latest video . I cant believe you can shoot a dog over there if it was worrying live stock yes but whooo hang on . they could have warned the dog off some other way im sure .. So so sorry for the dog , im a great believer in Karma ,hope he gets his .

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Maurice - as I said, shooting the pooch was one thing but corpse in the car - that was entirely another thing. Still waiting on cops doing an interview.

[@jeffhulett4194]

That’s terrible about your step sons dog, I hope they catch the basted.

[@ChrisB257]

I'm ever hopeful Jeff but as yet we still wait hoping for a result.

[@brandontscheschlog]

My prayers go out to your family. This is a sick man and karma eventually catches up to you. If it doesn’t there’s always options. I had a very similar issue where my neighbor almost shot my dog because she would wander onto his property to see his dogs barking 24/7 that are caged outside with no shelter throughout the year in Pennsylvania hottest months and coldest months. Thankfully it didn’t get to this but our dog occasionally gets loose and I have to worry about this everytime it happens. When I was a kid, 25 years ago, The entire neighborhoods dogs would randomly show up at your house and it wasn’t a big deal. Nobody was ever harmed and no dogs were ever threatened or harmed. It’s the little things anymore that turn out to be a huge ordeal anymore

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Brandon, We are still pretty sure this guy is the culprit or someone in his family... he is almost feared by locals! As yet no result from the cops so whether there will be still remains to be seen. The big thing was - not only was the dog killed but - the corpse was 'delivered' to be put inside a car Cody was working on - then of course not being discovered until about 3 very hot days had gone by. There are some very nasty people in society unfortunately - although glad to say good folks still exist :)

[@brandontscheschlog]

ChrisB257 I agree, that is the worst part of it. I am at a loss for words. I hope justice is served

[@sethbracken]

That’s terrible about the dog, I hope the culprit is brought to justice.

[@ChrisB257]

Hi Seth - we sure hope something will get resolved.

[@terrylarotonda784]

That really sucks. I believe in Karma. Hopefully this individual receives his dose and the local authorities find him. I don’t think a lot of the people who harm animals. If this happened to mine, well, I would probably would be in jail for my actions against that person.

[@ChrisB257]

This sure has got us pretty p'd off to say the least - just hope something can be resolved eventually.
