Al’s Workshop – Important update!
Al’s Workshop updates
I have put all my Marketplace ads into hibernation for the next few months until the weather warms up, it’s just too cold out in the shed !!! I will still respond to enquiries and consider order requests through Al’s Workshop. Stay safe and stay warm :-)
Picture lighting
I getting enquires from customers about lighting up their portraits mounted in picture frames.
That’s interesting…I would like too offer picture lighting so doing some searching to see what’s available and the costs.
Al’s Workshop – condensation issues
Fortunately it’s down both walkways so not a big deal. Thinking about what I could use along those purlins to absorb the moisture?
BlitzWolf Smart Watch – updates
Took me a while to install the FitCloudPro app; supposed to be on Play Store but not there so had to go searching and get it from the developer. Then more time spent getting the app permissions setup for proper operation.
Working well now in particular for the important Messenger and Facebook notifications from Al’s Workshop and Marketplace.

The two bats posted to the US on June 5th are still hanging around in Melbourne – WTF
Now working on the F1 racing car in A3 picture frame and on the side prepping for the next A3 picture light – Serengeti Lion.
The A3 version of the A4 range of silhouette night lights has been popular and certainly justified the purchase of a Canon A3 printer, the two above jobs will pay off the $179 printer 
eBay orders for Chinese RGB LED strip lights are taking 3 – 4 weeks for delivery – that’s not acceptable!!! We need to do something about that – and I have.
Happy to report I can get most of what I need from a NZ based eBay trader plus another one right here in Glen Iris (Melbourne); the latter in 2 – 3 days – yay.
Not sure if I mentioned – I have put the Batman wall light on hold for several reasons; the cold weather, need a break from them and more importantly gives me some spare time to further develop the new version which will be USB only. USB with cord will stay at $50 and USB with onboard PowerBank for $65.

Some more orders have come in-
Backyard sign – THE DEAD MANS PENNY
Serengeti Lion – like the A3 Giraffe.
Another batman – name PHOENIX.
With regard to the latter I have pulled-the-plug on Batman wall lights for the rest of the winter months – they will be hibernating in the bat cave.

Weather is just too cold out in the workshop and spray painting bats outside even under cover is too difficult and no sun to dry them.
I have also put all my Marketplace adverts into hibernation.
Hurry up Spring!

PHOENIX – part 1
Another bat order last night so I printed the template this morning to pop into the bats ‘In Tray’ to hibernate while I finish the current four jobs.
