Push Lawnmower Lamp

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 15th, 200927 comments

I've decided to re-junkify my office at work and will be posting a series of photos so you can join me along the way.... Here's my first real "junking" piece - a push lawnmower lamp I made with my father over 10 years ago. I decided it would look good up against my blue wall shining on the metal "GATHER". It is sitting on an old hospital gurney but that's for another post...

I found this wonderful rusty sprocket wheel a couple months back as I was leaving the salvage yard (so glad I was there when I was) and had been eyeing the heavy blue stand at Geo's store for months and decided to put the two together and make a fantastic end table. And for those of you who remember my "haul" post back in November, this is the piece I used to make the instant outdoor table...
