Industrial Hanging Lamp
The lamp was created as part of an art and design contest for a local home and building recycling yard. The contest involved taking at least one salvaged support brace from an old shipping crate and incorporating it into either a functional design piece or a sculpture. The lamp itself is solid brass and has been converted from a wall lamp to a hanging lamp with all new cloth covered wiring. The pulley mount and legs of the lamp post are made from the salvaged crate brackets. The pulley supporting the lamp is an antique salvaged from a farm in California which has been refurbished into working condition and finished with wax to protect the patina. To adjust the lamp up and down a wooden hand crank was made from solid oak using a hand cut gear and ratcheting mechanism. Aside from the wiring nearly every part of this lamp is made of salvaged materials.

For maple 2 stick butter mold5.0I am very happy with the final project - exactly what I was hoping for! They look well made also. I just got them home and I'm soaking 1 of them in oil to start the conditioning which I also found online. The value of these wood butter stick molds is really priceless because I haven't found them anywhere else.

For chaise lounger / futon frame4.8Loved the product - good quality and exactly what I was looking for! It will serve perfectly as a guest bed / movie lounger in our loft. The project took just a tad longer than originally anticipated, but definitely worth the wait.
