This project was this year's Christmas present to my daughter, Jenny. Many years ago I had made a lamp out of a hubcap. My son ended up with the lamp, and I'd always promised my daughter that I'd make one for her. This year I finally got around to it. It's not a hubcap, but it's definitely recycled, and interesting iron. The shade is made from a very old toy wagon wheel, a gold mining pan, and a large bandsaw blade. The base is a timing pulley, and the post was forged from a one inch steel pipe.
Hot Dog Staples! That lamp is really, really, beautiful. Jenny is one lucky daughter. That firepit for Josh and Sara is pretty neat too. It looks like the sun with the fire in it. You don't just horse around with your metal work, eh. Michael's been pretty fishy lately. Patricia HN
