my dad is the coolest dad ever because....
everytime i open my email up, i find along with a short description, he has built a new lamp out of beer bottles and spare parts...not only is he recycling but his lamps are awesome and his descriptions make me laugh. my dad rocks, i had to share with someone and he's not answering his phone right now. and dads really are the best.
"With St. Paddy's Day less than a month away, there was both means and motive for my latest creation.
Found the original lamp brand new with shade for $2 at the Schuylerville American Legion flea on Friday.
Uses a night light style "B" bulb socket. Rare shamrock Bud bottle was one of a few empties I took home
from a past St. P day marathon, the details of which escape me.

"Perhaps my best lamp yet.
Featuring a rare NY Giants superbowl mini keg with a refurb of an old Adirondack camp copper and glass gas lamp.
Cord, socket and appliance bulb courtesy of GE. Keg ballast is road gravel recycled from Glens Falls DPW.
I hand carved the wooden on/off knob for the gas to electric conversion.
As always, mini keg was consumed on premises to ensure authenticity.
Enjoy!
W Lamp artist"
"Hey guys,
First release of the new bud lite limited edition lamp series.
Shade and base provided by Karl. Socket and wire from Mark. Appliance bulb from GE lab. Vintage plug from Grandma Lombardi hardware. Most important, rare bud lite aluminum bottle from legendary Hooter's patron Billy Scott.
Recycled lamps save landfill space and use zero energy when properly turned off.
Regards,
W, Lamp artist"
"Second release of the bud lamp series.
Basically a recycle of Karl's crack addict bedroom lamp with some special extras.
The one of a kind viking base is from Mark parts and the centerpiece bottle from Hooter's icon Billy Scott.
I expect the new stimulus package will include several billion for the relamping of America's infrastructure, so I am on board early.
Regards,
W, Lamp artist"
"Hey Kim and Roge,
Seond edition of the coveted Coors light light.
Recycling efort on this one entails salvage of an old lamp that
Kim left behind at my house. Keg is one of Roger's special delivery Superbowl pre wedding night edition.Light bulb is GE vintage appliance bulb.Epoxy used to attach lamp to keg is stolen from GE with a "best used by date" of December 2001.
Ballast in keg is my favorite, gravel from Kim's fish tank
Only Kim can tell us why the lamp shade is stained."

Your dad would be cooler if he wasn't a Giants fan but way to stain up the lampshades. It better have been sex related."If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise." -Robert Fritz

you have to upload the pics to a hosting site like biglines or something. doing them from your mail account means only you can see them.
also, i think my dad is better than yours, maybe not in such a badass way but we just had an hour and a half long discussion on my life and where i am going, and now i can just see everything more clearly. so thanks for that, dad, love you. Originally Posted by Divebomber

yeah, the photo URLs are coming from gmail. They are embedded into your web e-mail account so even though they are an URL, only someone who has access to your account will be able to see them. You need to either attach them to this forum or upload them to an image hosting server.

I'm extremely disappointed that I too cannot see the sweet freakin lamps - I keep scrolling down hoping that you eventually figured out how to post pictures after your 322 posts...
