It's that time of year again, and I committed to making a Christmas present for a family member. This one isn't too complicated though.
I started with a large (1.75L) bottle that was "left over from something". Made a walnut base for it, topped with a brass plate and some rocker switches.
For lighting, there's a standard bulb on the top of the lamp, but also some blue Christmas lights inside. This looks neat, but it means drilling (Dremeling, really) through the glass. Always fun.
Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas from everyone here at Miscellaneous Matt!
