I must get out more.
SWMBO was wanting a night out..............

Certain government departments and education institutions can be massively wastefull. A " certain university" is known to throw entire fit outs of equipment into the skip when refitting.... equipment thet is still perfectly servicable and only a couple of years old.... surely this stuff should go to auction.:mad:

you and I pay for that.

Major, before you hook it all up start teaching your wife how to post a pic in these forums.

I'm betting there'll be naught but a Major-shaped silhouette on a charred wall where your bench used to be... and we'll need an "after" pic as proof. ;) :D

just emagen the power bill. crispy critter.

HMMMM Could always enclose it and turn it on and use it as a kiln ??? :rolleyes:

I agree with BobL, there is more useable hardware in the item to serve as a table.

Lighting over a workbench should be from an ajustable incandescent lamp or lamps providing directional light to show uneven surfaces etc and replicate the colour temperature of the lighting in the final resting place of the workpiece. The large area fluro will give too diffuse lighting and get in the way of your overhead bench space.

It would make a great lightbox for tracing patterns etc, or for viewing slides, just as it is!!

I want it. I'll be around to pick it up later. Good quality photo as well.
