The light looks nice there. And having"chunks" of metal on hand, it just won't get any better than that right???..

Thanks I like to light a lot too. As for the chunk's of metal lying around; I've taken that to a whole other level too. Chunks, sheet, round rod, bar stock, plate, stainless, aluminum, CRS & HRS, and more bed rails than I know what to do with. Then I have channel iron, drill rod, brass. Oh yeah it's one stop shopping at my place! I'm like Noah; I have at least two of everything. The wife calls me Jimdepot.

Funny thing is, my buddy will stop by on his way to the hardware store and I'll just look at him and say "whatcha need? I'm lookin for a 10-32 stainless button head screw about 1/2" long why you got any? I need about 8." I'll pull open a drawer and there will be 300+ in various lengths. "Take what ya need" Same thing with 8-32, 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-16 I have less of the bigger stuff though. He does the same thing with me when I stop over his place. Though he has a LOT less stuff. He's not one to keep things. Take for instance; a few years back I was restoring and selling guide headlights on FEEBAY and I had over 300 sets in my basement my wife called them pods...
I kind of have a fixation with headlights (my wife knows
) I even went so far as to master and cast 1/8th scale guide lights for models. My wife was like "Great mini pods!" Of course she doesn't make fun of me when the bills get paid. The money has to come from somewhere.
And some E&J Type 20's I did.
I even did some model T lights
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
