For all my local friends:

Found this on the sidewalk while walking the dogs this morning. It doesn’t get much better than this for a Dutchman!

I am selling this steampunk lamp made out of an old copper heater. The price is $150. It is mounted on a tree slice. The lamp tilts back for indirect lighting. Now is your chance to grab it before I list it on marketplace. The warm glow of the bulbs looks great with the copper.

The first multi-tier steampunk cigar box lamp is complete. Eyes 👀 stay lit on the 4 boxes. Dimmer controls the 3 exposed Edison 💡 independently. It was a fun project to collaborate with Joe Frustaci.

I made this lamp from an alarm box recovered from a train. 🚂 Joe works on the railroad and wanted me to design a steampunk lamp while maintaining the integrity of the piece. This was one of my favorite pieces I have worked with and really pleased how it turned out.
