Handy Devices

Paul Schroeder, Fergus Falls, Minnesota, made this shop light out of milker pipeline. It swings 180 degrees in both directions. The light moves back and forth by way of a pulley with a looped line of electrical cable. He can move the light around his entire shop in an arch and along the length of the pipe.
