Some of those guys do a incredible job and the results are truly pieces of art.<br /><br />Soon it will be warm enough to get out to my garage/workshop so looking forward to starting some projects.recumbent conspiracy theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534820082655384780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265043310556240776.post-91063696801193400362012-02-27T06:34:15.490-08:002012-02-27T06:34:15.490-08:00Good idea....and a work of art!

There's some beautiful stuff there. Perhaps only in the eyes of a radio person, but to me, still a work of art. <br /><br />One of these days, I've got to start building some simple things. Puzzling; but since I retired from the paint company, I'm busier than ever...<br /><br />Those five grand kids, two cats, and now a new dog keep me jumping.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265043310556240776.post-24275012079432397392012-02-27T04:14:11.169-08:002012-02-27T04:14:11.169-08:00Hi John, That sounds like a cool way to use some o...Hi John, That sounds like a cool way to use some old insulators. I have a few common green ones topping the fence posts between me and the neighbor but no lights. They glow nice in the middle of a sunny day. <br /><br />If I lived in the country and had a bunch of space I'd build a large loop antenna for the low bands and string it on antique insulators.recumbent conspiracy theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534820082655384780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265043310556240776.post-33469573868873059022012-02-26T20:03:42.803-08:002012-02-26T20:03:42.803-08:00Hello Mike,

(the tops had been cut and trimmed to fit the insulators). A 110v wire had been threaded up through the bottom of the posts (about 8 inches long) and a small light installed on the end. Perfect "night lights" and very unique!Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.com
