[TheForge] Small Shop etc

[Michael H. Murphy]

On the fluorescents, get T8 lights.  They come in several different types,
each with its own light characteristics.  I put them up in my shop recently,
and the difference from the T10's is significant.  I got the ones that are
supposed to put out a daylight spectrum, and I really like them.  Be sure to
get good reflectors for the mounts; that makes it even better.
