Just a few things from HF visit the other day:



I am always losing certain hex wrenches, so I got sets of the fold out type this time (that way I will lose them all ). Push sticks were on special for $0.99, so I picked up a couple. Those little clamps are awesome! That's $7 I should have spent a long time ago. They make my little Worknate wannabe much better at holding down just about aynthing and the little quick release cams are a nice touch. There is a bunch of threaded rod under the table in the lower part which also has a quick release and a finer twisting adjustment for height.

I also had a yard sale stop this morning with a couple of finds:



$1 for the lamp and $0.50 for a project to get one of the kids out there with me for a bit.

The nicest thing I got recently was a new camera that is mine alone (most of my older pictures were lousy phone pictures or using my wife's or daughter's cameras). I got an HP M425 and a 2G card for around $100. OK, I know the rules - no pic, it didn't happen. Here ya go:

Nice snag on the lamp there, Andy!!!!!

I searched high a low for something similar and ended up settling for a rinky dink arm lamp at Office Depot. Payed about 15 times what you got yurs for!!! I need to check out some these yard/garage sales at 6:00 AM Saturday mornings!!!

Oh ya, the flash does seem to be workin' ok!!!

Don't ya just love HF and the great finds ???

You really do ROCK!!!

Re: recent minor gloat material

If you didn't get the mounting clamp for the lamp, just take a block of wood and drill a hole in it. Then clamp block to bench.

I did just that a few minutes ago. 1/2" hole and 1 2x4 thickness is fine, and it does work (always a concern, though lamps are simple to fix).
