It has been kind of a woodworking theme for me this month. Not that I claim any type of real skill in that area—but hey—if I can fool someone into paying me to do dangerous stuff in their newly built woodshop—that’s their problem. The bonus lies in I get to hack out some stuff that I can call “handcrafted”. That all being said: I’ve been spending a bit more time cruising around our sponsor Rockler Woodworking for stuff that I ought to have. I mean—fine woodworking tools is a gigantic un-tapped resource for me.
(A total aside here…I recently watched the Australian Rules Football Grand Final with some friends. Why am I watching Aussie rules? Long story—some other time. During the extremely exciting sports action: my friend Kate piped up and declared that apparently…the uniforms, and the men in them were an “un-tapped resource” for Kate’s viewing pleasure. Sigh).
Back to untapped resources of the non-Kate kind: Tools. Seriously…check Rockler out. Have you ever seen so many things that you absolutely need? I know I do.
Barring all kinds of expensive arsed power tools that could only be mounted in a gigantic, awe-inspiring wood shop—those go without saying—but one of the things I’ve noticed that I really could use is the Rockler LED Work light.
The Rockler LED Work light features a magnetic base, a clamping base and a flexible arm for moving it into the perfect position. Maybe the poker players should have had this when Marc reviewed the Milwaukee M-Spector.
That was a horrible idea. Forget I ever wrote that.
More than just a woodworker’s light—the LED Work light would be good for an easel, crafts, or working with miniatures. If you got two—you could also make a sweet pair of Flashlight type magnification goggles.
In the interests of disclosure, Rockler provided us with a couple of these in times past (for a prior giveaway on the site). The Rockler LED Work Light is available from our sponsor for about $60.
