WTB Bent old Rods
 

I am looking for some old bent rods out peoples dead motors. I want to make a lamp out of old rods. I am willing to pay shipping and maybe a few bucks more.

A NYC artist I know makes candleholders out of cranks.

Well I am not a NYC artist, nor am I making a gay ass candle holder. I am making a badass lamp. Will have a fucked up 6ul as the base and rods going up to where the lightbulb will be held.

You gonna weld this together?

I have a set of stock rods not bent though. 20+shipping? lol
Had you posted this a couple months ago I'd have had a set of bent rods for you that went in the trash

I am going to attempt to weld it together.

I will shoot you a pm later. Not in the biggest hurry right now. 99mx5 broken rods reminded me I wanted to do this for a while.

remind me when you're up here next time. I think I have some 01 rods you can haz.

you can have my set of 4 unbent rods and pistons for cost of shipping. you can have a crank and oil pump too if you wanna pay to ship those. I may have 2 sets of stock rods and pistons i have to check, but yeah you pay shipping and their yours.

Hey coolio, lemme see if I can find my old bent rods.

JB weld?

I will shoot you a PM a bit later about the pistons and rods, don't need a crank or oil pump.

That would be awesome if you still had them.

JB weld is to advance for me, I am actually going to cut up little strips of duck tape and make them into small balls with the sticky side out. Then put a million of those at all the connecting spots. This way it looks like messy welds. Not the pretty welds that Tim and Abe do.

man, for some reason this just made me spit coffee all over my keyboard. well played, sir. :fawk:

I am bumping this because I again am searching for bent rods. I am planing on actually starting my lamp soon.

And what for a shade?

Human skin from banned newbies.

lol

Must post pics of end result within a few months, and I'll donate four old straight rods.

Fae is the only person on this board who I would expect to "know an NYC artist".

You guys hurry up and get Shuiend his rods. Then I can post my own WTB and make some tap handles.

I love lamp.
