Brass Kerosene Sconce Lamp

This is a lamp for my bus conversion project, most likely it will go in the bathroom. Total project time was about an hour.

The Mae West, an Elegant Kerosene Lamp

Clean up

I'm really happy with this one, the proportions work really well, it's sexy in a Mae West kinda way.

Dual Power Kerosene Electric Lamp

table lamp with 12 volt bulbsThis lamp was built before I had created this website so these are the only pictures I have of the construction process.  The components of this lamp are all steel which solders very nicey if you use a good flux but really needs a coat of paint to look good.  In this case I used a Krylon gloss black fast drying enamel and intend to add decoration in the form of decals in the British canal boat art "Rose and Castle" style.

Swing-arm Kerosene Wall Lamp

Swing-arm kerosene lampHere's another real quick project, the two donor lamps are below, both came from our town dump this past weekend.  This will be my first lamp with a glass font.  Furthermore, this font has a hole in the bottom so I will be making liberal use of the non-traditional material; GE Silicon II Sealant.
