Brick lamp and stone light

Transformations are great!!!

In this case a simple recycled brick can become a light or a river rock can become a candle holder!!!

Lots of possibilities from found materials...

Step 1 You will need..

Tool wise you will need a diamond cutter. I used a 10 inch wet saw with a continuous blade since it was only a brick.

Cutting concrete or stone you will need a segmented blade.

RotoZip tools have a dry diamond blade which could work for your material.

A hammer drill with the correct bit will be needed for the lamp column.

I can't believe that you made the good ole house brick this attractive.

Well played sir!

wow, awesome !!! I wished I had a diamond cutter !!!
It's simple and special at the same time: my favorites :-)

Thanks. You can typically find used cutters on kijiji. I paid only $250 for this one and it was brand new!

Thanks, that is exactly what I was aiming for.

if you were to take one of those crystal making kits and use it on the inside of a hollow stone before doing this it would look really cool i think.

It sounds like you are trying to make a geode... Try it, I would like to know it it works...

I like the rock the best thats really cool.

What dis you use to make the round discs on the river rock?

[Random_Canadian]

I used a dry diamond coring bit made by Bosch. The rock takes a long time to core. The brick takes seconds...

That is an awesomely "simple" project! Stone/brick cutting saws can be rented from most big-box home improvement stores, so you don't even have to invest in one. Very nicely documented.
