Vodkaman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 JR - on the lamp, the bit that makes contact with the bottom button of the bulb is probably corroded. *** UNPLUG *** from mains and have a look down there, you may be able to scrape it clean with a screwdriver or a blade.

Vodkaman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 JR - lamps are very simple, crude items and easy to fault find if you have a meter. If you don't, you can make a resistance meter with a battery, torch bulb and a length of wire. Either you have a loose connection, check the plug, switch and lamp connections, or there is a break in the wire, which is were the meter comes in handy.

ravenlures Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Before I get something like that I have to finish the house first which I have been building for 45 yrs. If my work area ever looked like that my wife would think I am nuts or seeing another woman which at 73 I don't need, but it really is nice when you just start but give it a few years and when you come up with a new idea every day you get the clutter which I have built up over the years, these darn lures can drive you crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. But then some guys are neat and then there's my group of guys, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, still hats off to you and your wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 When you have a project like a room inside your work area I'm surprised that you even found time to work on baits. I know you will be glade when it's finished. I tried to find this thread when I posted my thread about the shop. I didn't know that the search engine was down. I got frustrated and went and started the other. I told Dave that I would post, so I started that thread. I wish I had found this one. This where I wanted it to be.

JRammit Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) That's a ton of bench space!!! I find the more bench space I have, the more clutter I accumulate..... Having a smaller bench forces me to organize more often, but I'd still like to have that kinda room! I can just picture you sitting on the floor Indian style in front of that microwave waiting impatiently for the plastic to heat Brings back fuzzy memories of me and my little brother hovering over the Creepy Crawler oven Edited December 15, 2016 by JRammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
