I already had the fence stretcher and the hoist on the trolley. The light is a 4 ft LED from Sam's. I am currently in the process of rebuilding the Clausing 5913 lathe for my shop. Thanks to some really good advice from newly found friend OccupantRJ his recommendation of the carbide scraper makes getting the old paint off. Now all that is left to do with these parts is to dust them off with some 220 grit metal prep and primer. I may not get around to putting the finish paint on them till spring. Just want to get them in primer to make it thru the winter.
There is never enuff light.

Those 4ft LED lights are great. I strung one up inside my 72 Dart when I was undoing the interior, got tired of fighting with shadows, they work just as good hanging from the underside of the hood too.
I will never go back to fluorescent. I have replaced or converted all of my 4 ft to LED and intend to do the same with my 8 ft. I convert them to use LED with no ballast. I also have a kit to convert 8' to use the 4' bulbs. The sky is the limit when it comes to portability. Thanks for your comment lunacy .
lunacy this is another of my very favorite LED lights. It has a magnetic back and as you can see I have it attached to a Chevy push rod. This gives me any angle I need on the light. I have the pushrod in a magnetic holder on the side of my milling machine. I bought this off of Ebay from a fellow Texas veteran. I actually have 2 of them I like them so much. Great for working under the dash or under the chassis of a car.

Great stuff, I had a 5914 for several years, made many parts on it, excellent machine up top except I didn't love the hydraulic positioning drive system.
I really like the pushrod-mounted light. I have a Milwaukee "pocket floodlight" which is a similar flavor to the one you have posted which is my favorite flashlight to-date.

You can get similar vent covers from McMaster-Carr. They are kind of expensive but very well made.
