Create a stroboscopic effect with a cordless lamp and cut my arms off

Amongst others, a table saw, which although there are some cordless options alternatives, I'd rather not. Plus dust collection is simpler too. It had crossed my mind though

Thanks all for the advice on generators, it's almost certainly going to work out cheaper unless something miraculous happens. I'll draw up a shortlist of suitable candidates and I know where to come if I'm stuck. I'll go through the thread and mark all the thanks. Cheers! Tom

Yeah @Harry Bloomfield I think I need to revisit the SSE quote and challenge a couple of things

Thanks @JohnW2 and @HERTS P&D , have been researching generators in more detail today as it happens. Lots of options, dump it in a corner and exhaust through hole in the back wall, easy as that?
