    6000K Super Bright LED Lights

    I purchased these 6000K LED light strips not to go on my car but to use as lighting strips for close up photography. I just need to adjust the white balance on my Digital SLR for 6000K light frequency and I’m ready to start taking pictures. They just needed a 12 volt supply and I…

    The proof is in the lack of sticky pudding

    Whilst my wife cooks I occasionally bake and it’s normally either bread or sticky treats. I like the size of these silicon baking sheets as there are so wide. Just a little less then the width of the oven. So to give them a good test, I decided to make something vary sticky to bake…

    A shower curtain with a difference

    We have been long over due a new shower curtain. My wife likes plain white but I thought it was time for a change. I got this shower curtain on order and then checked with the boys. It’s looking like three votes in favour so far, that should swing it. When it arrived I hung…

    This product has kept my boys occupied for hours. There are 240 domino blocks of a variety of colours.

    A stable and flexible microphone stand for many uses

      Music is a great passion of mine although I never seem to get any time these days to write and compose. Most of the time I am recording videos of either products or green-screen work. Whenever I shoot video I like to capture as good quality audio as possible. With this in mind, I…
