BenQ SW272Q Photography Monitor. B&H had a $180 coupon on top of paying tax and shipping. Resistance was futile. LOL

Do such places still exist? Nickel Hinge Wire is nickel coated Copper stranded wire with a high temperature insulation. I bought a small roll to repair an oven and just having the roll has eliminated the need to repair another high temp device for the last 20 years. Works Great!

These are actually very good. 2 layers of heavy fabric and 2 zippers on each side. 4 years on the first set and they are wearing well. Don't need to on these but putting the sand in a gallon freezer bag inside the sand bag would eliminate leakage.

These are $4.50 each in packs of 4. Saddle Bag style with 2 top strap handles. 4x Counter Balance Sandbags Sand Bag for Photo Studio Light Stand Boom Arm Interesting, B&H Impact stand are light but I wonder how durable.

Nope! I kept the 24-200 and got a 180-600 refurbished for the long end. I looked hard at the 28-400 but 1/3 of my shots are at 600 plus over a stop gain at 400. The down side is size and weight. There are a lot of lens snobs and you should be able to find a 24-200 fairly cheap. I still have...

Many years ago a friend worked in a boatyard carefully disassembling new Mahogany bookcases for the lumber to repair boats. Exporting countries would only allow finished products to leave the country so, special bookcases. Nice job and description. Wood is sustainable with a little care. One...

4TB external hard drive as this computer is Full!

Any 2 part epoxy including bedliner will be more expensive than regular paint but it isn't outrageous. I got mine on Amazon last time. I got by for several years with a latex coated tray sink made from scrap wood and the paint would soften with water contact but it worked. The last sink I made...

If you are covering wood, polyester laminating resin with a final coat of finishing resin. Thin fiberglass cloth if you must. 50 years I think.

Just one TB? You must have good control over the fun switch.
