The Chinese believed the turtle to symbolize wisdom, wealth, long life and endurance. They also believed that the world is the back of the turtle and that the turtle shell has markings of heaven and earth and the roof of the universe.

Dental Light

One of the biggest problems in turning and aging is getting enough light to work safely and accurately.  A 500w halogen work-light provides great illumination, however the fire danger is not worth the lums!  Therefore, I've been hunting for an operating room light or dental lamp.  I finally found one but had to figure out how to mount it in a small studio space.  Here's my solution.

Got a dental light from Craigs List. This is a older Pelton & Crane model.

The features of a dental light are the movement and extension.

I designed a swivel joint welded onto a steel plate that is bolded to the wall.
