Broken Blower

[marmoh]

Bought a 80 gal pump yesterday at Petsmart ... my project for today is to see if it works .. one of my biggest problems is that I can't see to cut with my contacts so I wear my glasses .. then I can't see with my glasses so I take them off and lay them down ... then I have to go put my contacts in to see when I put my glasses !!!!!  This getting old is not that great !!

Hey Marion I'll bet you're near sighted. I wear contacts too 50 years worth, then I have 2 pair of reading glasses from the drug store, a strong pair for reading and close work, and another pair for the computer so I can read the monitor. Got a pair of glasses for emergency's from the optometrist with the graduated grind for near and far, they suck, I go around bobing my head like a chicken, trying to find the sweet spot so I can see. I have one of those lighted magnifying inspection lamps for scrolling. With that I can see the fuzz on a frog's bu-  er posterior. LOL

All set ... the blower is working out great.  I want a magnifying lamp, but Harbor Freight is out of them at this time so need to find somewhere else to get one.

Magnifier lamps.
Check this link out. I've had good service from Amazon, several different models on this page.

I mounted a IKEA-LED lamp to a shelf (also IKEA :-/ ) above my saw. When mounting it to the sawtable itself, the light was shaking and making it a stroboscope kind of action :-(
