We all make stuff other than pipes, so here's a place where "anything goes" as far as showing off some of your projects and other hobbies.

Lamps

Post by Fortitudepipeco »

My other hobby besides making pipes is making lamps out of old things. I love repurposing and breathing new life into things that have been discarded. Image
Here are a few examples of my work.Image

Love the "steam-punk" lamps. Very cool.

My dad used to make lamps of old wagon wheel hubs. I have a metal one and a traditional wooden one down at my cabin.
