Keep us posted on your progress, will be interesting to see the solution.

Just came across this. Very interesting! Looks like a well built barn to start with. What type of wood was used for the siding? Good luck with your project and I'll be following.

I ended up going with Hyperikon hybrid tubes and and happy with the results. Very comparable to my old fluorescent T8s in terms of light but much better with instant on light!

Will be interesting to see what you think about them.

Looks like a nice light. Where did you buy them?

I have a 24' x 40' x 10' garage with Philips Alto II 6500k 2710 lumen T8's and need to replace some bad bulbs. A 30 pack of the same bulbs are $1.99 each at HD, or I found a direct wire LED replacement 5000k 2340 lumen for $5.83 each. Thinking for now it makes more sense stick with replacement...

I absolutely love it! Buy some milk and start a small business. ;) The youngsters would say you came up with a great idea. :D You will be a hit at the shows.

Great cameras for the price. If you really want security, buy the SD card and use Continuous Recording and plan on formatting the card every day or so. There are some issues with reviewing playback away from home too. For the money they are great but there are a few issues to be aware of. I...

I'm an idiot.....wouldn't make a good machinist or a secretary. The drill bits are 33/64"!!! Gotta learn to type. Seems that drill size would be used for a 9/16"-18 tap so makes sense now. Again, thanks for the help.

Great link. Thanks. Still trying to figure who would be using these and for what? Not the tapered ones, I understand using those being used for machining and quick change. Maybe shops into heavy steel fab? Snow plows, truck bodies, etc?

You don't know what you don't know. ;) The key was Morse Taper I googled it and am much wiser. The machine taper is a simple, low-cost, highly repeatable, and versatile tool mounting system. It provides indexability, as tools can be quickly changed but are precisely located both...

I have 3 bits and the other two are not turned down. One is a CLEveland Forge an the other is a National. Just so happens I picked this one to take a picture of. Looks to be turned down as I don't see any stampings in that area. :confused: My dad was an electrician so perhaps he had an...

Interesting. I saw morse taper bits online but since these aren't tapered I was confused. Didn't consider they might have been machined to remove the taper. Thanks!! So do I sell them as un-tapered tapered drill bits. :D Was 1̶3̶/̶6̶4̶" 33/64"common for some application?

What is the purpose of the tang on the end of the bit and do these bits have any value? 1̶3̶/̶6̶4̶ 33/64 Thanks in advance. Rod

I can tell this is going to be a beauty!
