I picked up a new electronics hobby lately – lamp making! This was a natural progression from my 12V LED projects. I ran out of bulky adapters and started cannibalizing lamps from various places to make new ones.
I’ve done some junior woodworking as well on some of these – nothing really complex. A lot of the tools I have I’ve had for over 20 years. My dad got me a great set of tools when I was a teenager, and it took many years for me to truly appreciate it. At the time I thanked him out of simple obligation (like you would thank an aunt for a gaudy sweater), but now I use my tools nearly every day, and it’s very satisfying to have the right tool for the job.

Love the projects. Just made a ‘frankenlamp’ myself 🙂
