P.S. did you get my e-mail Jeff?
I did indeed! The wife saw the pics, she'll be easier to sway than I first thought!

That's one hell of a solid and heavy temp canopy lol! I'm really rooting for these LEDs to work out for you man. Who knows maybe a couple years from now I'll be able to follow suit! The more I see of the fortress (workshop) the more I wanna come tour it...

Hey Griz, one suggestion.. take some emery cloth or something real fine and take the oxidization off the areas you are going to epoxy the LEDs to. this is a hindrance to heat transfer.

the build is looking real nice so far..

Ya that's what I did, mapped out all the boards, scratched the surface with some emery cloth & appoxied all the boards on.

Got all the boards on now, just need to get more connectors from Martin tomorrow, get everything wired & let them rip.
