Eagle Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Last night I was cleaning up after several projects. Just leftover junk everywhere. As I'm gathering it all up,,,,,,,,,,,,well you know what happens. This could go here, this could go there, rearrange this, drill here,solder that. :P about and hour and a half later...........A lamp. I have to go get the bulb sockets and switch. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil R Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I like it Mark. The fin is a nice touch. Perhaps in color with a decal or a design. Plain is nice too! Let's see, I have two saucer lamps and a light with a saucer on top. Where can I put another? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Phil,,,Conney says your suspended from purchases until further notice ! Ok , all wired up. I drilled holes in the upper and lower compartment, then sandwiched the bulb between the two. Gives a cool effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amoebaboy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 nice work.are those tail lights ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 The exhaust nozzle is spun aluminum. I did not make it. It came from a leftover project. One of the rocket ships I think. The vertical fin is .35 2024 t3 . Yes they are tail lights. The top one is from a 1962 Ford and the bottom one is from a 1955 merc. Or at least thats what the guys told me at Carlisle when I picked them up last month. ;) I'd love to build a couple for you guys, but ya just can't do it. They are just odds and ends. Now I can build others like it ,but not an exact duplicate. I'll list this one because for once I built something that can be shipped !!!!! It comes apart. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Andy, you know what I'm talking about.. ;) You just can't pick things up and put them away.... :rolleyes: :D :PSome of my best stuff comes from picking up after myself. ;)Regarding using one-of-a-kind or rare parts...I sent Zee out to California last week. The trip loosened the glue holding his vintage Zenith vacuum tube head to his body. Upon arrival as he was being unwrapped, the tube fell out and smashed on the ground. Now I'm in a scramble to find another vac tube of that style! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
