The two 57mm (outta some sorta big ol' Russian gun) cases just don't look right sitting directly on furniture. Does anyone here do any wood/lathe hobby stuff? I'd love to get a pair of turned walnut or oak bases... I can send you the dimension of the case head, and the general sorta profile I'd like. I live in an apartment, so I'm figuring that a lathe would be a bit much...
FWIW, I filled the business end of the things with 2" "furniture cutout" fillers from the "office stuff" section of Home Depot - they're almost perfectly sized, with maybe 3 layers of tape around 'em (which doesn't show). Filled 'em with hot glue, then drilled and screwed in the lamp stuff.
One has been completely assembled (except for the base) and I still have to take a "before" picture before I clean #2. It looks very "gun" - kind like a monster .308 shell sittin' on top of one of the Bunker's bookshelves...
Also, was talking with Arne, and he's been making grenade lamps... I'm going to get one.
