        Hi all my new leds have turned up. it always tickles me how big the box is they come in

        but this time they came with a high quality brochure here are an assortment of pics from said brochure

        all very nice so when I want my 30 million pound yachts lighting upgraded I know where to go.

        Anyway thats not why I posted this is my simple but not particularly elegant method for lighting the super troupers

        take one led

        bend thus

        make a plasticard tube the size of your chosen batteries. inset 2 batteries place bent led over the plastic tube and onto batteries

        insert piece of plastic between the negative pole

        light goes out. remove plastic card

        light comes on.

        now all I have to do is figure out how to get that inside the super troupers, the batteries and led slip in nicely, its figuring out the switch.

              Hi moni thing is they usually come in boxes like that but that's the first time they sent a brochure and I have to say it is a very high quality brochure thick paper glossy pages and all. Realistically I will never buy any quantity of leds from them but it must have cost them more for the brochure than I paid for the leds

                    Ok guys and Gall i had got bored of this and was going to put it on the back burner but due to the plane I decided to build to get my mojo back, here I am again (I have decided I dont like planes) so here is what i am up to now

                    I have painted the logo on one side of the trailer, which at first I thought looked rubbish but then I thought, I don't know a new business, couldn't afford a proper paint job so maybe did it themselves, anyway what it is, is what you got.

                    then I thought about fishing the lighting I have 2 of these doing the third as we speak, one will be shorter just to add variety.

                    so thats where i am now.

                        He's Moochie he is the one who is going to get squished by Christine, just think all those guts, as Arnie says to the police when they tell him what was left of Moochie had to be shoveled up "well that's what you do with (a word meaning poo which the moderators would not like me using)"

                          Hi all tonight's installment thought i ought to do some work on the director and his stuff and finish the lights. here is where I am at now.

                          Here is the little guy I am going to use as Mr John Carpenter.

                          with a little persuasion I got him to sit.

                          So now of course he needs a seat.

                          and here he is with the finished lights

                          so thats tonights installment.

                            its looking so good and well done to get Mr Carpenter., to take a set,

                            good work on the chair as well turned out well, that some think i should get is a small vice as well come in very handy at times,

                            so do all 3 lights have lights in them ? and if so do they work ?

                              Yes they do. I got the vice from aldi don't know if you have them over there it was about £3.50 cheap as chips has a suction cap underneath so you can stick it to your bench and has 3sets of jaws with varied hardnesses plus of course as I am using it there just the bare jaws, best piece of kit I have bought.
