LUFF LIGHTING.


I am working on a new lamp inspired by scissor lamps and luff cranes.
Made from bike cranks, Skate board trucks and engine parts this industrial beast has an adjustable height thing going on and would be a perfect desk or table lamp that attaches to the wall and would not be taking up valuable desk space.


It is secured in its 2 heights buy a piece of bike chain, i did try it with 2 chains that you could put at any height position but it became over complicated and i think you would only use the 2 heights.


Have hours of sanding and polishing to do but it should look pretty slick when all shiny.


The shade is made from a Francis Barnett motor cycle engine [that has not been damaged and could be put straight back on the bike, just like most of my vintage engine shades.] and an aircraft grimes light, i am hopping that light will shine into this as there will be 2 bulbs when finished......


I am hoping my friend will be opening her cafe/bar soon so i have somewhere to put all of my fabrications.
