erlenmeyer flask lamp

this is the original thing, volcanic sand is supposed to be in the bottle, the bulb is the non energy saving type....

this one costs more than 100 bucks....I'm glad I could make it by myself...

Step 1: I won't teach you how to make a lamp

anyway, my english is not good enough to name the specific parts....

I had an Erlenmeyer flask in my garage and the other day, I saw a designer's lamp using the same stuff....so I decided I could do the same for cheap...

SO......

get some wire (cool wire), a switch and a bulb thing.

you can buy a lamp adaptor for bottle necks, but I found a piece of copper tube at the local hardware shop that fits both the flask and the bulb thing, much cheaper also.

beau travail, le verre est vraiment une matière qui force le respect et l'humilité quand tu as un perçage a faire, tu ne peux laisser de place au hasard sous peine de retour au néant ;-)

ps : sympa de voir qu'il y a des frenchies sur instructables, on se sent moins seul ;-))))

for english people : good job !!
