Holiday Gift Idea!

I made a few of these last year for my shop lights! If you have the "chain pull" style of shop light as I do....you have experienced when you shut the light off and the chain snaps up on top of the fixture and later when you want to turn it back on.....you have to reach up on top to find the chain! In the dark!!! So I had an idea! I made a "Bob" for the end of the chains so that does not happen anymore and they make it easier to reach up and pull the chain! I thought it would be funny to shape them like light bulbs!!!

Just did them by eye, with the point of the skew......and very carefully!

Now when it snaps up it will shatter the bulbs overhead. Nice idea

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I wouldn't have top worry about that I am a midget. I usually have to get on a chair to retrieve the damn thing when it springs up on top of the light fixture. Larry could just reach up there and get it.
