I copied you halo light idea but I used a 3" ABS end cap from homedepot with a 800mm halo light because originally I used the 600mm and realized that when I use the chuck it was blocking the light, all in all it worked out great! Thanks for the inspiration and for the awesome videos!
I like watching your videos Sir. This project may have an easier avenue though. You might consider a 3d printer. They can be quite a bit of fun. And now that Fusion 360 is free to home gamers, it makes life a bit easier.
I don't like the idea of 3D printers for me personally. I like working directly with my hands and using 3D printers feels like dishonest craftsmanship to me.
@@GuyMarsdenMakesStuff To each their own for sure. But This Old Tony (Highly recommended) even broke down and got one. 🙂The crafting with them is in the software used to model your custom parts. Food for thought. Either way, keep up the good fight.
@@GuyMarsdenMakesStuff LOL! I love that statement, "Dishonest craftsmanship!" I have no issue with using CAD or even CAM, but 3D printing is like chucking a frozen TV dinner into the oven and calling yourself a cook. With manual or CNC, you at least get a high quality end-product which is strong and visually attractive, whereas with 3D printing you neither. I will say, 3D printing is great for making models for metal casting.
SneakyGunz, One of the reasons why there's a maker movement is the desire for people to get away from computers and excessive automation. Computers solve a lot of difficult problems, but they inherently hamper creativity and a sense of connection with the artifact. It helps explain why there was more innovation when computer were far more primitive, and why today's music is so dull and uninspiring compared to music from decades ago. Excessive automation removes the human signature in the final product, robbing it of character and expression. A handworked piece of carving, for instance, is aesthetically more captivating than a perfectly dimensioned one carved by CNC. The same is can be experienced when viewing a hand drawn versus a computer generated animation. The computer generated one is devoid of warmth and life.
Yep, a regular 12V adapter. I actually tapped off the power feed to my tachometer that also uses 12V adapter. So I just put a DC jack on the back of that box for the ring light.

Thank you for sharing. Great idea Guy. Enjoyed.👍👀
I didnt know Noam Chomsky was interested in fiddling with stuff, amazing!
Noam Chomsky? Why did you mention him?
@@GuyMarsdenMakesStuff its you, isnt it?
I don't think I look like Noam Chomsky! My name really is Guy Marsden.
@@GuyMarsdenMakesStuff yo there is a definite resemblance but you definitely sound like him
@@jtreg Better to sound like Chomsky than Zhizek :D

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing! :) I have found using the ring WITH the gooseneck light is perfect for me.
Great idea, I like it !👍👍
Glad you like it!
Should have just installed the ring light in that green plastic cover.
Huh, why didn't I think of that! I'll look into it - thanks.

@@bobweiram6321 I totally agree Bob! :)
Great idea and video. I am subscribed. Where did you get the ring light? I see a lot online but they are too large.
Thank you sir.
I put a link to the one that I used in the description. They come in three different sizes, so choose the one that best fits your machine.
Nice to see how you did your ring light. How has the super glue performed on Delrin?
No problems! As you saw, the magnets are a press fit to start with so the glue is just extra protection.
I take it you used a external power supply 12V ?
Yep, a regular 12V adapter. I actually tapped off the power feed to my tachometer that also uses 12V adapter. So I just put a DC jack on the back of that box for the ring light.
How did you wire it up?
I have a 12 volt power supply that also runs my tachometer, so I tapped off that.
Call me paranoidal but magnets are forbidden on any of my tools until my little workshop gets a welder with a de-gaussing function.
Well, they are my bread and butter. I am kind of a magnetics expert and use them liberally. But to each their own! 😜
