You might try a novelty or party supplies store in your search for a strobe.
My kids have bought one that plugs in to a wall outlet and even has an
intensity control on it to adjust the speed of the strobe flash. Sorry I
don't know how much they paid, but it could not have been very much as it
was paid for with their allowance.

Some, ok two, of you might recall my newly discovered signature objects
in which I leave about 2 to 3 in. of the branches sticking out of
Norfolk Is. pine spindles. I was really proud of my unique approach to
fine art til someone who shall be nameless, mentioned that the up-turned
branches add a sort of phallic look that I wasn't striving for. We
artists are horribly driven and we expect to suffer for the sake of our
art, however I'm seriously considering resigning to become a simple
woodturner again.

I can't see the d... branches even at low rpm and I've had so many
scrapes and bruises lately that neosporin and band-aids have become a
significant expense of my atelier work. I had hoped to recoup from sales
to collectors, trophy wives, and other well pursed types, but so far, it
hasn't happened.

Anyway, Lorraine doesn't think much of my journey into art, so I have
come to sneaking into the house to wash out my wounds with LDD, dress
them and hide the blood. There's a lot of it since I take aspirin. My
injuries are minor so far.

I don't know what's worse for someone who already knows to be careful;
"you should be more careful, Dear" (as if I don't start out to be
careful) or the somewhat sharper "I wish you would stop making those
things before you really hurt yourself, Arch". Heretofore, cheating on
my wife involved sneaking two eggs for breakfast when she was away, but
lately it's clandestine meetings with BFI and bandages.

Meanwhile I type this with damaged fingers to inqui Do any of you
sneak band-aids and hide your wounds as if you didn't know to be careful
when turning wood. Of course we are all careful, but be sure to....


Turn to Safety, Arch
Fortiter
