Or a flywheel for the base and a giant ricer cone air filter as a lampshade.

thats exactly what i used for my base. my cam lamp is in production as we speak. im actually making the shade out of pushrods and that black net stuff used to cover hoses. u can see it in ur engine bay. one of the rubber hoses that goes to the water pump on the passenger side is wrapped with it

I think this could definitely be it. Maybe even sticky material one day?

And turn a wicker chair into a 100lb "throne" (still not a bad idea though)

Nice lamp though... having trouble filling the time down in TX?

I have a stock camshaft I've been wanting to do that with for a long time now... I'm going to use a brake rotor for the base and find a cool lamp shade for it... I think it will turn out cool!!!

I like the creativity! Just make sure you don't knock it over or that glass topped table is history!

Here is one I started last week. This will be my 9th cam lamp but I think this one will end up the best looking. The welds are really clean. This is 6th gear out of my late T56. Made for good furniture though. I think it looks pretty good though.
