Pipe Lamp : Version 2

This weekend I finished a lamp I've been working on for about a month. There was only a few finishings left like the electrical connection and some fixings.

The lamp seems a little bit "naked" once finished so I added a clock in the centre.

For the switch, I cut in a brass dial and fixed the switch into it.

The base is made of different hydraulic parts.

Pipe Lamp IV (final version)

I finally found a good base for my lamp so here it is:

Final version of this lamp before I create new ones.

Pipe Lamp III

Today I finished my lamp with the metal imitation on the plastic part of the lamp.

There is still the stability problem but that's for another day.

Pipe Lamp II

Today I almost finished my lamp.
First of all, I found a lamp and I looked for a way to fix it on the pipes. I wanted to keep the original articulation to stay as flexible as possible. So I cut the plastic the same diameter as a copper pipe I got and I fixed it into the connection with hot glue.

The only problem is the articulation which is in plastic, not aesthetic at all but I plan to do a metal imitation painting to fix this issue.

I also did the electrical connection and the lamp is working for now.
Last steps are now the painting and finding another support to ensure a better stability.

Pipe Lamp

This afternoon I found some hydraulic stuff of various materials and I decided to do something with it by the end of the day. Finally, I went for a lamp.

So I began to put the pieces together and I scratched the all thing to get the metal shiny. I also thread the electric cable through the pipes for the lamp.

Concerning the different metals, I have copper, brass and steel. I was afraid of the mix of these metals at the beginning but the result convinced me.

I also placed a brass platter, probably to put a clock later. There is also space for a valve.
The next steps are to fix the support, the copper parts and... to find a lamp!
