......well after a few false starts wasting a couple days I finally succeeded in
making a kind of pedestal table to hold a picnic table umbrella.....Like so:
Looks so simple,hmm? cause it's basically 2 wooden discs (particle board)
Couple of lag bolts screwed thru the lug bolt holes into the 2x4 column.
The beauty of this thing I found a use for those old wheels laying around
that I inherited from my sons! It would have cost me a few dollars for the junk
dealer to take it off my hands ......screw them ! Huh? Nother neat thing
you can tilt the whole works and roll it any where you want.
I don't expect the family to use it or appreciate it much .....but it just tickles the
crap out of me ! Will make a dandy outdoor work table !
Oh .....and here's the outdoor light for it:
the 20 plus 4 (2 of them for $10) at Big Lots......and the 6volt battery alkaline
power supply:
as before I plan on a small windmill to run the LEDs (RT stepper motors....those
D size alkaline really last actually work better than NiCads...for LEDs and D size
batteries last much much longer than AAs or AAAs......don't they ?
Oh yeah speaking of storage....air that is that tire makes a dandy air tank 40 or 50 lbs.
would run a little air motor ( a la steam engine type) which could run a RT stepper motor?
Well that's it for now.....
Norm.
