About: I love tinkering with anything and everything I can get my hands on. I also enjoy high adventure outdoor treks and relaxing in the shade at 14,000 ft. I am a sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, ma…
This is a lamp I made after being inspired by many Instructables (thisone especially) . I used a dimmer and four bulbs in parallel for the illumination. I also used many brass parts, assorted knobs and dials, and vacuum tubes from my parts collection. This lamp took me about an hour or two to construct. The lamp is very bright when not dimmed and also gives a perfect glowing filament effect when dialed down. The locking gas cap on the side actually locks and opens (but serves no real purpose). One dial shows psi and the other is a bulb testing dial (how apt). The tubes were salvaged from an old, dead, stereo amp.
I hope you enjoy it, Please Rate and Comment :) I would be glad to answer any and all questions.
Cheers,
