Here are more lamps. They are numbers 108 - 119.

I hadn't done anything with copper in a while, so here we go. The copper snakes around the black pipe fittings in the middle. There is a single switch near that bottom the operates the single light underneath the good-sized copper dome. The base is old pallets with a nice tag on top of the copper-coated metal. I should do more copper. What do you think?

I made a lamp similar to this one a while ago where there was a basket to hold your phone or tablet and an outlet to charge them. Multipurpose is good! However, this one includes a stained glass panel that is a combination of several different textures of clear glass. But that isn't all for the stained glass. I needed to replace the lens on the gauge at the bottom and thought I would used a piece of yellow stained glass to give it some texture and color. Some fun with a touch of color to boot. There is a switch on the left that operates the single light at the top. The lamp is black pipe and the base is old pallet wood.

So, what do you do with a wheel bearing, a couple regulators and some oilers? You add a switch and an insulator and get this lamp! There is a ton going on here with this very narrow yet tall lamp. How fun! It is also made with black pipe and the base is an old base from an explosion-proof light.

At about 8" wide and 12" tall, what we have here is one squatty lamp! This is another one where I combined the galvanized fittings with the black pipe for contrast. I still really like the look. There are two switches that operate the light above it independently The new feature here is that the insulators are not hanging from above. Each insulator sits inside its own fitter. On the plus side, I didn't have to drill into the insulator (it's not difficult at all), but there is a little (and I mean little) more work to change the bulb. Okay, you just have to loosen the three set screws in the fitter. Not too bad! There is a single gauge at the bottom. The base is an old pulley.

I have had several welding regulators for longer than I care to mention, but just couldn't figure out how to work them into a lamp because they were always bulky and made the lamp top heavy. The simple solution was to move it to the bottom of the lamp and build off it from there. Problem solved! I love this look and you will definitely see it again! I added a couple of gauges to go along with the regulator. There is a single switch that operates the sinlge light at the top. This lamp is made with black pipe and a base made from black diamond plate wrapped in old pallets.

Wait no longer! Here is another regulator that I worked into a lamp. The red of the regulator led me to including the fire alarm, which controls the light at the top. I added a couple extra gauges that have a touch of red to carry the theme and we were on our way. I added the hanging metal tag and the tag on top of the base to round things off. I love it! The lamp is black pipe with black diamond plate wrapped in old pallet wood.

I started this lamp with an old unit from a physics lab. I converted the unit into the housing for the wiring for the lamp and for the dimmer switch that runs the light at the top. You can use the dimmer switch for ambience or to check the time (from the clock that is smack dab in the middle of the lamp!) without lighting up the entire room. Again, multipurpose is always good. The lamp is black pipe with silver diamond plate wrapped in old pallet wood.

I was able to repurpose this old meter, but couldn't save the original meter. I did install a new one that is operated by the dimmer control just below and to the right of the meter. To the left of that is the toggle switch that operates the single light at the top. The base is an electrical box. Unfortunately for the lamp, the original design made it back heavy, so I had to add some "feet" in the back to keep it from falling over. It worked and I think it looks natural to the lamp. Likewise, the fittings in the front were to help counter balance things, but weren't overly effective, however, I liked the look of them, so they stayed! This took a lot longer than it should have, but I love the result.

Oh, look, a regulator. Same idea as before, but with a different look and feel. I did add a gauge right above the regulator for beefiness. The switch to the right operates the single light. I am so happy with the look of the regulators. The lamp is black pipe with silver diamond plate wrapped in old pallet wood.

I wanted to change the look of the lamps with a clock, so I moved the clock to the bottom and added some stained glass and that's how we got here! The stained glass is clear glass with some red mixed in for color. The switch operates the two insulators independent of each other. And, the smaller insulator can be used to check the time in the middle of the night, should that be necessary! The lamp is black pipe and the base is old pallet wood with a black metal tag on top.

If one regulator is good, more is better, right? In any event, we have a few regulators working together here and I love how they look. I did not paint them blue, that is how I got them. I added a gauge above the regulators that I bought separately and it matches the regulators so well. Also, I did not paint the base, that is the color the pallet was when I got it. Everything goes together just amazingly. There are two toggle switches near the top that control their corresponding light independently. (I have blue switch covers, but they weren't a good match so they were left out!) This lamp is made with black pipe and a base made from old pallets.

And this is about as simple as it gets. A control box with a switch that operates the panel light below it and the light above it, independently. So, the amber light can be a night light and the main light can be the regular light. That's it! How cool. As before, this one got a little back heavy, so I added back feet to it as well. Again, I think they fit in nicely with the rest of the lamp! This has no separate base; the first one ever!
