Vintage Simpson voltmeter w/ dimmer reading across lightbulb terminals
Edit: Thanks so much for all the interest! While in college I did a few art shows, but I don't have much time to make/sell lamps any more. I'm hoping to pick it back up again a few years once my Navy commitment is over. I have a lot more on my (inactive) Instagram 'retrolit'

Incorrect. You make art.
ImtheYeti
I thought you adjust wattage and not voltage for bulb brightness, so why does the voltage drop?

It bugs me how you used the end grain on the left side

Your skills would be useful in case of an apocalypse ...

You make lamp parts for the American working man because that's what you are, and that's who you care about

That's the sort of thing I would want if I could build it myself off of plans from a Popular Mechanics article.

Am I the only one who hates exposed bulbs like this??

That's pretty neat. Out of curiosity do you sell them? If you have a site I'd love to see what else you have.

I’ve been collecting pipe fittings, old gauges and lamp sockets with the plan to make some Steampunk lamps.

This would be really cool with dove-tails on the housing! Hone up on your woodworking skills, take it to the next level.
jennbarkley
Do you sell instructions to build one?

Ok, I either need a shop link to buy them or a tutorial link on how to make them.

You can try Rosie's Workshop for very similar stuff
Ronelyn
Dooting because there are folk in my life who need such things, too.
Heracleidae
I haven't had time to sell them for a while. Not too hard to make lamps, Google a tutorial and from there it's just variations of a theme!

Do you make others?
Heracleidae
I do! I take vintage items and turn then into lamps

Can you do my wife?

As an EE. holy fuck did I go too far in when I could have just made lamps
bigfloppydonkydong
Same!
Heracleidae
As another EE, lamps don't make nearly as much money lol

That’s a great idea. It’s mine now.
Heracleidae
They're fun to make!

I have this idea of a dial up phone where 0 Is off, 9 is brightest. :)
Heracleidae
You could do a rotary dial phone where the axis of the dial is connected to a rotary dimmer switch! That's an awesome idea.
