This thread helps me appreciate the generosity of my new son-in-law even more.
He kindly gave me what you've just bought Bruce.
I think Bruce is going to have an easier time of it. Those "hot lights" you have inherited have some significant practical limitations (risk of burning down the house) that Bruce likely won't have.
Thanks very much for passing this link along. These look promising. I'm finding videos (the right ones, once I find them) a great way to learn. The mix of explanation and demonstration conveys a lot.
