My new nightstand lamp.

[samckitt]

I am going to change the brass to chrome, It needs cleaned up, I need to wire it & get a lamp shade.

But here it is. An LS1 camshaft & a truck harmonic balancer.

I'm guessing you are single ?

LOL, no. I was surprised myself when I told my wife that I wanted to make one for my nightstand. I saw one online somewhere & wanted to make one. I am going to use a touch sensor as the switch though. Don't know what I am doing for a lamp shade yet, if it will be a traditional shade, or something automotive.

Good for her! The right spouse makes all the difference.

The lampshade should be made from some thin sheetmetal with a rivet old school theme

[Shmoov69]

Air filters work really well for that.

There is a thread over on ls1 tech, that has many, many pages of unbelievably cool re-purposed automotive parts. My favorite is the aluminum block LS coffee table.

Haha! Nifty! Going to put some sort of 'shade' on it?

OMG I got a good chuckle out of that comment!!




TIMING GEARS and Chain are the only appropriate thing to be made into a shade...

Its cool but on my wedding night I was given this advice by my buddies 80 year old mother.

"Never have anything in the bedroom that you would not like getting hit with or tied to" :thumbsup:


Make sure you post it up when done.
