Title: My Creations :)
Post by: Flayed on December 07, 2010, 12:53:01 PM: I finally found something I enjoy making. :)
This was my first one made specifically for Thndregg. :P The base is a bit rough but I was working with what I had laying around the shop.

I then went on to fancier things and produced this stately looking Smirnoff Vodka lamp. :) The base is some finish grade pine ply that I thought looked nice cut at angles.

Then Thndr gave me one of his nice MacNAUGHTON's bottles to try and I went all out on it. Nice, walnut stained, solid oak base. :)

I think a JD bottle with a rectangular base might look good but I can't stand the stuff lol. Anyone have any empties?
I've had thought of trying to sell these. Looked around on the net a bit and haven't found any that I think look as nice so maybe I have a shot. lol

:noid

Nice work by the way :aok

Post by: ImADot on December 07, 2010, 01:08:13 PM: We made bottle lamps in Junior High back in the 70's. And yes, we drilled holes in the bottom for the wiring. :D

You bring back memories...some good, some bad. :neener:

Post by: Flayed on December 07, 2010, 01:20:00 PM: That is actually really coarse salt. It took a while to find something that A. looked good B. didn't cost a fortune and C. could be colored to go with the bottle or shade. Have to thank my sister for that thought. :) Most craft type material that I found would have been way to spendy to get in any great quantity.

The dark whisky bottle I left empty because I didn't really feel it needed anything other than it's own good looks. :) Not to mention it's dark enough that filler really wouldn't have mattered much unless I wanted to just add some weight.

Post by: TinmanX on December 07, 2010, 04:32:16 PM: I've been hanging on to an empty bottle of 15 year old Glanmorangie with a gold leaf label without a clue what I was going to do with it. Now I know.

Post by: ozrocker on December 08, 2010, 06:56:07 AM: Nice. I bet you could make some bucks making them. Also, I bet sand sculptures in the bottle would sell.
For that idea, i'll only take 10% :)
