Night Pics Carpenters Shop
Here is one of a series of pics that I took using just the lighting from the three fixtures in the roof of the shop.(others in my Photobucket)
This pic was taken though the interior window in the main hangar.The open window leads to the soon to be installed office module.

Outdoor light assembly
This is a light design that I came up with today consisting of a length of copper tubing flared at the end.The shade is an old aluminium cigar tube top.The other parts are similar to the main hangars light assemblies.
The bulbs in those days were large and generally left uncovered by a shade.

WC/Coal Bin
I guess I better explain this one!You guys may remember the figure I did that was out of proportion.Well,rather than re-working or tossing it ,I decided to use it in the WC.Actually,very little of this figure will be seen when this module is attached to the hangar(a good thing too)When finished you only see his back and from a high angle through the window of the WC.From the smile on his face it must have been a long trip!!!!!
