I've been asked to put up some of the "non political" projects I've done up over several years. To me, just a bunch of fun projects, hope you like them. BTW, my wife has forbidden me to look at any more junk piles. This was a flower pot for several years, dad didn't like it when they downsized to a retirement place. Lots of effort to polish up. Open the valve turns on the light in the drip. open the valve turns on the light. Stem is part of a twisted off Peterbilt truck driveshaft I repaired at work, 2 feet tall overall. The wood is all Ambrosia Maple. Just a conglomeration of misc., fun to make.

I forgot one, sort of a favorite of mine. The upper rope light and cabinet lights are individually controlled by pushing/pulling on the dip stick. Hopefully a few ideas will come from this stuff.

Larry, Tela ( rockjunquie) nailed it with the "Larry's Imaginarium" nomenclature! These are fantastic! I've seen a lot of people try to make things out of "junk" and they tend to look "junky". Not ONE of these look like that...they all look artistic! I love 'em!

That is amazing artwork, Larry! I love the pipe wrench lamp. You do mighty fine work transforming those objects into art. Excelling upcycling!

Love them!! Especially like the light bulb drip. These should go in a museum. They look like they were a lot of fun to make. Thanks

The wrench holding the drip light is one of my fav lapidary toolbox tools. It has a wide gape for removing the wheels on arbors and saw blades, and yet it has a short handle allowing its use in confined areas. For those that don't know it is commonly called a ford wrench and as I understand it was a standard accessory on Model T and A vintage autos because if fit axle bolts and other important components. Ford probably stopped making them in the the 1940s.

I love these!
If I let the husband see them though... Super creative! The dipstick is my favorite.
