Time for a little fun. This lamp has three flashing lights in the form of a stop light. Each one is controlled by its corresponding colored switch. You can have any combination of the three lights lit at any time. If you just want a clear steady light, this has that, too. It has its own matching color switch. This lamp is made with black pipe and a base made from old pallets. This one is just plain fun.

Sit tight for this one. We have an Edison bulb controlled by its own switch. That can be on regardless of what else is going on with the lamp! We have a fire alarm that controls the flashing red light on the left. For a little fun, you can turn the switch below the flashing light to the AFC side and this will set off the alarm and panel light that are below the switch. Simply turning the switch to Bypass will turn the alarm and panel light off. Ah, peace and quiet. The lamp is black pipe with a diamond plate base wrapped in old pallet wood.

Back to the clocks! I kept it simple with this one where we have a single light controlled by the single switch at the bottom. Black pipe wraps around the clock and keeps it in place, while still being accessible for battery changes and time adjustments. There is a metal tag in the back corner of the base. This is made with black pipe and has a diamond plate base wrapped in old pallet wood.

So, it appears that I have a theme of flashing lights/noise going on. Can you blame me? Anyway, for this lamp, the left toggle switch under the amber cover operates the main light on top. The other toggle switch operates the flashing amber light on the right (they work independently of each other). What does the key do? It allows you to bypass the alarm that is located directly above it, if you want some peace and quiet. If not, just turn the key to the left and that will light the red panel light and set off the alarm! The base is an old pulley and the lamp is made from black pipe.

What happens when you buy a transformer from an old railroad train set that was completely fried? You make it into a dimmer control for a steampunk lamp. It actually controls/dims the Edison bulb right above it. You have to lift the lid on the metal box on the right to find the rotary switch for the other light. Add three coordinating gauges and you have one amazing light. This is made from black pipe and the base is old pallet wood.

I still really enjoy working with copper pipe and my soldering is still getting pretty darned good! Also, as promised, I have once again combined the copper pipe with the black pipe to make this lamp. The copper pipe has more twists and turns than five M. Night Shyamalan movies. A new addition to my lamps is the 6" copper dome on top that covers the light (it is operated by the switch in the middle). The dome really adds something (you decide what) to this lamp. Another new thing I tried is the metal that covers the top of the base. This really helps with the industrial/steampunk feel Three gauges round off this lamp.

Another lamp this is a ton of fun in a small package. To say this lamp is simple (non-complex, if you will) may be an understatement. We have essentially three main pieces that make up this lamp, but that is more than enough! We have the explosion-proof light that is operated by the switch on the right. The gauge in front is the final piece and it goes so well with the red light and switch. It is made from black pipe and the base is repurposed pallet wood.

The focus of this lamp is the old elevator control box in the middle. The key operates the Edison bulb above it and the switch on the bottom right operate the other light. They work independently. The orange switch in the middle operates the green and blue panel lights (turn the switch left to light the green light and to the right to light the blue one). This is made from 1/2" conduit with the base top being diamond plate wrapped in black pallet wood.

As far as obvious statements go, the most obvious may be that the meter box in the middle is the focal point of this lamp (okay, a tad hyperbolic). The toggle switch lights a night light in the box when flipped to the left and operates the light on the left when flipped to the right. The red wheel in the middle is a dimmer switch that controls the light on top. You can't spell functional without fun! This is made from black pipe and the base has a metal top and is wrapped in old pallet wood.

This lamp with a clock has been jazzed up by adding an oiler to it. What does an oiler have to do with a clock? Mechanically, nothing. However, they look great together in this lamp and that's all that counts. Simple and elegant. The switch in the middle operates the single light. This is made from black pipe and the base is black diamond plate wrapped in pallet wood.

This is one of those lamps that deceptively took a long time to make. I wanted a nice clean look without having a junction box for the wiring in the way. So, I hid that below the top of the base (it's where the three switches are). Each of the three toggle switches has its own indicator light and each one operates its corresponding light, left to right. You can have any combination of the lights lit at any time. The insulators and silver gauges keep this a nice clean look. It is made with black pipe and the base is pallet wood.

This compact lamp still gives out a good amount of light from its two led lights inside the insulators. There are two rotary switches at ninety degrees to each other that operate the light above it (they work independently). I added a metal tag to complete the base. Three coordinating gauges round out the look. This is made from black pipe and the base is old pallet wood.

After a long time of trying to figure out what to do with vacuum tubes, I finally came up with an idea and I love it. The look of the tubes fits in perfectly with this lamp. There are a couple of gauges that go along with the tubes. An insulator is the light that is operated by the single switch on the side. This is made from black pipe and the base is old pallet wood.

If you haven't noticed, I really like the look of the clock with the lamps. Oh, look, it's a clock! This one has the added touches of a convex lens over the face of the clock along with a custom dial and hands. It is very simple with the single switch and light, but I really like it. The base is an old pulley and the lamp is made from black pipe.

There is a lot of fun crammed into this small lamp. Oddly enough, my favorite part is probably the base. Unlike a lot of the pulley bases, this one isn't flat; the top is actually a couple of inches higher than the bottom. We have a couple regulators and three small gauges packed in the body of the lamp. There is a single switch that controls the single light. It is made with black pipe. This is a perfect example of how even the small lamps can be amazing.

This lamp took a turn for the silly as I was putting it together. To no one's surprise, this started with the clock in the middle! (Note the really cool face on the clock. This gives it a Victorian feel that I love.) The clock has the feel of a clock you would find on a mantle and hence, the flickering (yes, flickering) lights on either side of the clock for that fireplace effect. The lights are mounted to look like candlesticks! They are controlled by the switch on the bottom while the dimmer switch controls the single light. I was able to hide the wiring in the base for the cleaner look. This is made from black pipe and the base is pallet wood. I just love this one!

Aside from the Victorian look, I associate stained glass and metal as key components in the steampunk look. With that in mind, here is my first (not last!) lamp with stained glass! I have done stained glass pieces before, just not in lamps, so I am really excited to be able to combine the two! This turned out really cool. The stained glass is a wispy yellow and blue and is made with lead and zinc. Like all stained glass, it looks much better in person! There is a single switch that controls the single insulator. The base is a pulley and the lamp is made from black pipe. Small and compact but still classy!

Who says you can't have it all? This lamp has a clock, stained glass and a light! Did I miss anything? In any event, here is my second attempt at adding stained glass to the lamp. The stained glass is a subtle transparent black glass with some clear bevels. It is also lead with zinc. The clock has a simple face which helps it blend in. There is a single switch that controls the single light. The base is a pulley and the lamp is made from galvanized fittings and black pipe with the silver and black providing a nice contrast.
