Artist Steve Lambert made this video about the making of one of his sign pieces, 98.5%. Process videos always get me inspired to make the most out of my week; happy Monday! [via FAT]

Does anyone know what those lights are called and where you could get them from?

The Reggae/Dub beat goes nice with any maker video.
gyzigersays:
I was wondering, what was he adding to the paint during the paint process and why?
Steve Lambertsays:
we were mixing the paint from powder. So what you see go in is a neutral extender base.
The lighting stuff I get from http://www.actionlighting.com/ but there are other sources depending on how particular you want to be.
gyzigersays:
Oh I see! Awesome. I didn’t know there was such a thing. I figured it was just house paint! What kind of plywood did you use? Did you have a special blade for your jigsaw?
John Parksays:
Great video, and I loved the end result, particularly since we got to witness it go from 100% to 98.5%.

Nice BUT the broken bulb is dangerous (electricity). Unwiring the bulb would solve this. Unless it´s supposed to be dangerous.
Steve Lambertsays:
Yeah, the plywood is 1/4 birch ply. The blade is kinda special. I’m away from my studio so I can’t tell you exactly, but Bosch makes a blade that can cut fairly clean on both sides. They’re about $2 each, but work really well. I can get you the blade number if it’s helpful, just ask.
