My latest lamp creation I call it the Ponga, is a #bootfair vase. Coupled with a nicely crafted piece of mahogany for the base. Wired with some gold braided flex and I’m liking the outcome.

So this weeks work incorporated this lamp. Bit of experimentation gone into this one in terms of refining my engineering techniques given my limited equipment, illustrated in some of the pix. Some steampunk ideas coming through with this project too. 
Pictured is a car disc rotor. I welded a bit of tubing on to the edge to assist with bending tubing for the lamp stem.
The bent tube stem welded to a hexagonal 2kg grocers weight. And a kettle I hacked to make the shade.
The union between the stem tube and the shade I created using 1mm gilding metal.
Here is the lamp wired for testing. I used spirit of salts to oxidise(rust) the steel and shade.
The finished article. Found this little toggle switch in a junk shop in Bakers Arms London N17

Made 6 x cafe/bar style tables this week. All 60x60cm that, when pushed together, form my interpret ion of snake skin. 
Copper lamps
Latest addition to my portfolio of hand crafted lamps. Made from large copper plumbing fittings, ip rated led spots and a flexible gooseneck that’d typically be used on a microphone stand.
These will light up the sign we built for the bonneville bar, we also built in London E5.

Last year saw us turn a shipping container into a full scale commercial kitchen and create a canopy of logs and beams for the BBQ area, Last week saw us give a makeover to the facade of the BBQ area at Climpsons arch in London E8.
Here are some before and after pix.
Scofflaw
The name ‘Scofflaw’ was given to people who broke the prohibition laws back when it was illegal to drink alcohol. Recently for us and my current client, it’s the name of the bar were building. Site is in Lower Clapton and we’ve got loads of interesting and exciting textures, finishes and designs to showcase on this project.
The running theme is degraded posh mansion meets opium den slash Alcatraz. A mouthful and a challenge.
Lab tops Gas pipe tables
These lovely yet simple tables are from old school science lab tops, with 1″ bsp pipe and fittings for the base. Complete with original graffiti and old chewing gum under tops.
Ex science lab tops iroko timber with gas pipe base and threaded joints
Great for restaurant or cafe style tables
