Thought I would try this

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-12-2019, 08:59 AM

Yep, I would say you're bored. That work bench is way too clean.....lol

Redneck Rydes · 03-12-2019, 09:00 AM

Man you are bored,but what a excellent way to kill the time,lol,those are amazing,you have a wild imagination,lol, I have lately been making lamps from camshafts,for years we would tear a engine apart,throw all the parts in the scrap bin,but as my brain ages,which somtimes is a good thing to build these items, Ilook at these old prts more as a art piece,than scrap,keep up the excellent work.

I'm glad this isn't a thread about the board lately, which is what I was expecting. If you consider using creative energy to produce interesting pieces of art, you should try to get bored more often. These would be cool with a single C3 colored bulb inside

**72gmguy** · 03-12-2019, 09:25 AM

You blow up a lot of engines...

Coley · 03-12-2019, 01:40 PM

Cool!...almost borders on being 'Steam Punk' art, which is very cool in my opinion.

That's some nice stuff right there.

**special-K** · 03-13-2019, 07:09 AM

What are those spark plugs off of??? Those are tall lamps. Careful not to knock them over!

All kidding aside, those lamps and dashboard hanger are top notch creations. Nice work!

4u2nv · 03-13-2019, 07:21 AM

AWESOME Lamps

4u2nv · 03-13-2019, 07:39 AM

Couple more for you

yuccales · 03-13-2019, 07:42 AM

Awesome stuff guys! Makes my Solex floor lamp look down right boring.

Thanks Special K, the actual sparkplugs are a cast resin type of lamp that I do not remember the actual source, but I sawed the base's off and machined the coupler's to attach them to the heads.

I really like the piston art. I feel like all of the stuff in this thread is an awesome use of time and old parts. I made a clock out of a single hub cap the other day to keep busy. The whole process was pretty satisfying. I'm also thinking about making an end table out of an old bent rim like the one with the glass top in 4u2nv's post.

**GOPAPA** · 03-13-2019, 10:37 AM

Sure some nice creations made from car parts . hope others will share more ..good post to look at..

My neighbor has some spark plugs made into a airplanes by adding a propeller and wings ,wheels, ,

No pic of the base which is a brake drum with chrome lug nuts. The other lamp is a fuel coupler. Yep, I was bored.
