I saw this trick on another forum and liked it so much I decided to do it myself. This takes a self adhesive strip of LED lights and puts them over the saw table. This turned out to be a little harder than i though. You need to cut the strips and then solder pigtails to each end to reconnect them. that's made harder when you1) aren't all that good at soldering, 2: you don't have a real small tip for your soldering iron, and 3) your eyes are as old as mine (78). But I managed to get it put together and here's how it turned out. I didn't do near as nice a job getting the strips all lined up as I should have but I don't worry about such things.

Thanks, Fred! That really is a neat idea!!

Wonderful idea, where did you get the lights? Please 🙏

It was this set, so the address follows. It was cheap enough that I figured if it didn't work out I wasn't losing much.

Yeah, Fred, Amazon links don't automatically populate with the site software.

Pretty neat idea!
