Re-animations

I've often looked for the other, lighting-based opportunities withing everyday and unconventional objects. I like scavenging through junkyards etc..
This is an internally lit table lamp I made back in 2001. I found an old, massive set of platform scales, maybe from a butchers, in aback block of unused land in North Perth. I salvaged some parts from it, and combined it with some other bits I had lying around. I put a light inside with a cord etc...
To change the lamp you unscrew the top and lift the glass off.

One day my then girlfriend and I were looking through an old medical warehouse in Northbridge. There was some pretty scary and very random stuff around, including some very unsafe wooden floors. But I did manage to find an old hospital/medicine trolley, which I painted and made a drop-in light box for. A little shelf below for books.
It was a great accessory around the house - with a dimmer attached; and I'd put coloured globes in it as well...great for parties/late nights..
