Once I dug myself out from under the sink after replacing the kitchen faucet I threw the old stainless water hoses in the bucket to save for a later project. Now that I'm making this crazy stuff I always find a use for things....it didn't take long, two hours to be exact, to put these to good use.
Above- the hoses cover most of the electrical cord and the rod holding the lamp
The shade is steel and pretty old, I'm guessing. It's been completely sandblasted, cleaned and powder coated using a chrome-finish powder. The inside is done in flat black paint and the switch is in the back.
The base and neck has been glass bead blasted, buffed and features a unique bearing insert so that the brass water spray arms and adjustable dial still function as original.
The base was left with a lot of the original patina and rust holes from many years sitting in the basement of an old barn.
The lamp head is flexible and can be rotated approx. 360 degrees, the lamp head is not affected because of the bearing I machined into the stem.
A nice reading lamp with a small spot bulb.
Thanks for checking out my stuff.
