Lamp I Made

Going ape shit with boredom during this COVID 19 lockdown so I finally made a lamp a friend had asked me for to put in their office.

The body is a canister for tank ammunition that I modified to look like the sabot round it held. I used sheet metal for the nose cone and aluminum billets I turned on my metal lathe to for stubb legs.

The light fixture I found a few years ago in an old barn. It was made in the '40s and was still new in the box. Steber is the manufacturer.

The knob for the on/off dimmer switch I made from a .50cal shell casing.

Pictures:

We'll only start worrying about you if the next one has a human skin lampshade.
