Pretty great job for first time. I don't think I would even try it. I think your client will be very happy. Tom

Thanks for the tutorial. It is greatly appreciated. Tom

Light intensity decreases by the square of the distance. Place a light 1 foot from a surface. Then move the light to 2 feet from the same surface. The light falling on the surface has decreased to 1/4. (1/2x2). So as you have found, task lighting is more efficient. And yes, repainting your ceiling will make a big difference. The cost of electricity for high ambient overall lighting is high too. So the overall lighting needs to be bright enough for safe navigation and work. If you switch your lighting in banks, you can have light where needed, plus task lighting at your work stations. Unless you are using LEDs for task lighting, I would shut them off when not needed. 2 ea 8' fluorescent tubes are about 150 or more Watts depending on your particular model. So each pair uses 150 Watts x 8 hours divide by 1000 kWh per 8 hour period. 1.2 kWh. Multiply that by 30 days x your electric rate of say $0.20/kWh and you will have the cost per month. $7.20 per month. 4' are about half that. So total it up and see what it is costing you. Adjust days, hours, and your local rate accordingly. Then review what you really need. Tom My simple numbers didn't include the ballast, up to about 40 Watts for twin 8'. So get efficient ballasts to decrease your energy costs. Also consider that all adds to your air conditioning load if you have air conditioned work area.

This is really neat. Great idea. It's great to see other people's ideas and work. Gives great inspiration. Tom

Pretty nice job. Lacing looks really good. I need to up my lacing beyond double loop. Tom

Great job. My grandson was given a bike earlier this spring, with pink plastic seat, handle bars, and pedals. So the handle bars got painted black, the seat wrapped with leather, wet formed and tied with lace underneath. Still has pink pedals, but he was happy to see the rest of the pink disappear. Kids are sure funny about pink. Yours puts mine to shame! Tom

For the leather cover / folded stand, could use kidex for a stiffener. Would keep the weight and bulk down. The magnet doesn't do anything with the capacitive screen. Different technologies. It activates a tiny magnetic reed switch near the edge of the tablet. You can test for the location of the switch by using a small magnet. Tom

Really, really nice. What lady wouldn't love to wear it? Tom

Really nice job Chancey Tom

Nice job, interesting ideas. Tom

Interesting stuff. See http://www.spiderwire.com/about_history.php Tom

Is the machine threaded correctly? If you missed any spots on the top thread path, it will mess up the top tension. Review it closely. Make sure the thread is between the tension disks. Increase top tension to bring the knot higher (towards the top). Move in small steps, like 1/4 turn each trial. Tom

Here are a couple links. You can search for more as well. Look for mold, clean, remove, and similar groups of words. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=14384&hl=%2Bclean+%2Bremove+%2Bmold+%2Bsaddle http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=23063&hl=+remove%20+mold%20+saddle#entry147512 Tom

If one computer can't find random web pages, yet others can, the computer may have a virus that points to a fake DNS server. Many antivirus programs will not find the virus if it is a "root kit" virus. Scan with tdsskiller http://support.kaspersky.com/5350 My computer had a problem a few weeks ago where it couldn't reach anything related to google. Most frustrating when you can't use google to find something! Several AVs found nothing. But tdsskiller found and fixed it. Tom

And no slots or holes over the leg hardware! Tom

Welcome. Hope you find a way around it. Computers are really frustrating some days. Tom

I'm jealous. Really nice work. Tom

Pretty nice job. Tom

Is this a problem on multiple computers, or only one? If this is happening on multiple computers, using the same cable, then try another cable. Does it still work on other computers running other versions of windows? If it still works on other versions, with the same cable, then cable and camera are still good. Prove each piece of hardware works before trying any software fixes where they don't seem to be helping. Tom

Here are a few links that might help.
