Posted February 14, 201015 yr So, I got bored and decided to make a lamp out of some old speaker parts I had sitting around. The components used are the soft parts from an RE MT that Nikuk mailed to me out of the blue nearly 5 years ago, and a basket and vc former from a Next 6.5" speaker. I used the basket as a base for the lamp and epoxy'd it to the bottom of the former of the MT softparts, which serves as the main body of the lamp. I used the former from the Next speaker to fill the gap between the MT dustcap and the bottom of the lamp fixture. The end result;Still need to decide what I want to do for a lamp shade. Thought about trying to make one out of speakers grills or the like. But I figured this lamp would compliment the clock I made last year;Yeah, this is what I do when I get bored.....
February 15, 201015 yr you should use a 15 or 18" basket for a lamp shade!very nice tho looks like it was a fun project
February 15, 201015 yr Sweet. I made one in college, slightly different. I had a can of generic BEER. Made it into the lamp base. I like yours better though.
February 15, 201015 yr Ingenuity at its best. Now bring it to Cali and sell it to some artsy fartsy fatcat as an original piece by Impious!
