Awesome project! Can't wait to do some of these... they look GREAT!

Nice... like the idea, and the portability, bring the light to wherever you are working... Where can you buy aluminum flatstock like that? Also, could you use PVC, and make something similar? Wouldn't look as nice, obviously, but function wise, would it do? easy way to hide the wiring as well?

Awesome article!Here's a question for Phil or anyone in the know. I am hoping to get into hobby welding, just small fix it jobs, perhaps give a couple of creative garden pieces a go... have a small wirefed flux welder, but have been leary to pull the "trigger" as it were. I have an intense fear of things that can put out that kind of electricity and yet, have read many things about safety (my wife sometimes criticizes me for over researching things to death, although here, she is on board). I am fairly confident I can practice and give this a go. Question, for small items, if I have them on a metal welding table, with the ground clamp on the table, like the picture in step 8, and I touch the table, am I susceptible to a shock myself?

How does the piece become grounded and not me? Not sure if I am asking this correctly, as I have tried googling the question, but again, with the way I word the request, am not finding the information I seek!
