Step 8The blunderbuss
The flared end was from an old lamp bottom (2 pieces) and another towel rack support.
The lamp I took apart, reasembled the base inverted, and used the towel support to look raygun cool.
There is a shaft from the lamp glued into a hole I drilled into the barrel. I had to actually screw the towel rack support onto the flared end so I had to drill some holes in it. (A punch to start the hole really helps here so you don't mess up the brass on the round surface).
The shaft was mounted with a nut under the base of the towel holder so you can's see it. The towel rack support upper piece holds on the cup. (it's easier than it sounds.)
[shaft, lamp bottom plate, nut, rack support bottom plate, cup, rack support upper knob]
I also spray painted the inside a nice metallic copper since it looked crappy.
