Steampunk Desk Lamp

OK, so it’s one part wood turning and one part crafting and not to everyone’s taste but I really dig the outcome.

Light on my desk. I need to make some space for it…

I bought some cool Edison style light bulbs a while back and just thought I needed to try this industrial thing. My office is very modern and it works for me. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that my office is my favorite room in my house. That said, sometimes I wish I didn’t work in a home office. It can be really distracting and noisy at times so I’ve been looking on websites like https://www.versare.com/shop/acoustic-panels/, to see if room dividers might be an option for me. It’s only an idea at the minute though.

To be honest, I have been thinking about redecorating my office for some time now and I am so happy with how it has all turned out. It is so important to create an environment that you feel comfortable working in after all. I just need to buy a new chair now to finish everything off. A friend of mine recently bought a cool new office chair from office monster so I might have to take a look at some of their chairs for inspiration.

As for my lamp though I wanted it to look like someone was locked in a basement with a bunch
of junk and needed light, so they cobbled together whatever they could
and came up with this. In all truth it’s kind of what happened!

I raided my shed and found a bunch of electrical and plumbing parts
that I mashed into useless gears and buttons. I already want to build
another one, maybe a bit more refined this time… What do you think? Would you have one of these lamps on your office desk? Be sure to let me know your thoughts as I cannot wait to hear what you all have to say about my new lamp!
