I can't walk away from pretty, cool, odd, funky stuff. Now I can find ways to use it that I never thought of!

Check this out...

That is some excellent stuff!

I LOVE the globe lights!

That's an AMAZING site--got it bookmarked for lots of future idea-mining...

My favorites are the teacup fixtures, the antique phone/tophat lamp, and the skate clock... So clever...

thanks for sharing this!

Love this!!!! The robots are awesome, and the globe pendants, xray lights........etc.!

I am trying to make a globe light for my step-dad. I got the globe apart but there is a heavy metal washer embedded where I need to put the light socket and it is not nearly big enough. So frustrating!

Bring out the big guns...power tools! There's nothing I can't fix (or destroy) with a sawz-all and a hammer drill~

I loved most of that stuff too, although I found the xray lampshade a little creepy. (generational thing?)

Is anyone but me old enough to remember the fluoroscope machines in every shoe store?

In essence, an X ray machine you stood on to fit your shoes....and while your mom shopped for shoes, you whiled away the hours X-raying your feet again and again.

I know I did.

Heck Yes - I couldn't get enough of that machine.
