VIDEO/TUTORIAL/REVIEW: We are always looking for new things to spruce up the Law Abiding Biker® Podcast & Media garage/shop where we work on and film many of our free tutorial videos and our popular for purchase videos. We have wanted mechanics style adjustable rolling mechanics stools for some time to sit on in the shop when a motorcycle is on the motorcycle lift table. They can be so expensive depending on which logo is printed on them.

Pricing a Harley Davidson mechanics stool online is around $80 . Love the HD stool, but it looks like so many other swivel mechanics stools and I'm sure it is basically the same. We did not want to pay for the HD logo, but just to get started with mechanics adjustable rolling shop stools.

VIDEO/TUTORIAL/REVIEW: We are always looking for new things to spruce up the Law Abiding Biker® Podcast & Media garage/shop where we work on and film many of our free tutorial videos and our popular for purchase videos. We have wanted better lighting for filming and to see what we are working on. We only had regular light fixtures with four 100 watt bulbs. The light was dim and spread out. It did not have good coverage and we had to use many filming lights for production value.

I had put this project off for some time as we have been super busy. We were setting in to film some major motorcycle tutorial videos and I finally got it done.

I purchased four Lithonia general purpose fluorescent light strip fixtures part #P001834B and paid about $40 each with 2 bulbs included. I was able to get the lighting direct and at a discount through a contractor I know. That means a total of four fixtures and eight bulbs were added to the shop.

In this free tutorial video I assemble, wire, and install Lithonia brand fluorescent lighting to the ceiling of the Law Abiding Biker® Media garage/shop. Save yourself some money and do this project yourself. I highly recommend putting good lighting in your garage or work area. We are super happy with the new fluorescent lighting. It makes filming and working on motorcycles that much better.

VIDEO/TUTORIAL/REVIEW: We are always looking for new things to spruce up the Law Abiding Biker® Podcast & Media garage/shop where we work on and film many of our free tutorial videos and our popular for purchase videos. We have wanted bar type swivel stools for some time to sit on in the shop. And just to hang out in the podcast/media studio. We have never broke down & made the purchase, because they can be so expensive depending on which logo is printed on them.

Pricing a Harley-Davidson Swivel Bar Stool on Amazon is $79.99. Love the HD stool, but it looks like so many other swivel stools and I'm sure it is basically the same. We did not want to pay for the HD logo, but just to get started with swivel shop stools. We have enough other expenses to deal with. I put this off for several years believe it or not.

I was walking through the Home Depot and stumbled upon some Husky Brand Bar Swivel Stools model #1656 for $18 each! And come to find out, this is the normal price. They looked exactly like the Harley Brand shop stools. I mean really, how much is there to a swivel bar stool?

So, I finally broke down and bought two of them for the shop & studio. They do require some assembly and of course we filmed it and made a tutorial video of you. In the video we also review the stools as I do in this article.

Each stool will take about 15 minutes to put together after un-packaging and assembly. Only a philips screw driver and a [Read more…]
