Weather Station Steampunk Pipe Lamp ( Springfield Instruments )

This is a Steampunk Pipe Lamp made from a Vintage Springfield Weather Station. I used the plaque as a base for the whole thing. I sanded out the old finish and stained the wood with Red Oak 215 stain from Minwaw. I sanded between each coat starting from 225 grit, 500 grit, to 1000 grit.
The large straight water valve was a piece of scrap my Dad had from a old building he demoed. I hollowed out the inside so a Rotary Switch would fit snug inside. I used the brass tip from the switch to solder to the shaft from the valve. It worked perfectly. I did have to shave off some of the reverse threads on the shaft so it would spin freely. I used the 1in belt sander.
I removed the weather station instruments from the plaque and removed the backs. I replaced the backs with 1/2 inch floor flanges using hot glue. This way they would be able to screw rite in to any pipe fitting. I used scrap copper pipe and soldered copper presser cup male adapter fittings on the ends to add a nice contrast to the brass instruments. The copper coil is really easy too. you just wrap the 25 foot refrigerator copper coil around a 3 inch pvc pipe. Then cut to length. Then I used brass male connector fittings to attach the coil to the structure.
All the lamp stuff came from old lamps that I took apart and kept all the nuts, bolts, and any bass peaces that I might need for these types of projects. The back on the right side is connected using a Copper and Brass Union fitting.

I really hope you like the lamp and the video. I hope it inspires you in your own projects like this one. If you do like the video or the art. Please LIKE SHARE SUBSCRIBE Click the BELL All that goodness.

One of the best steampunk lamps I’ve seen! However, here in this country the fittings and other materials would cost about $700. Pretty expensive for a lamp.

[albertomendez]

Wow I spent more than 200 in parts 😅 but Im so excited to finish 😎

This is extremely inspiring! I just put in a large order for pipe fittings and I have so many ideas for things to make. Where do you get your creativity from! I would not have thought to do some of the things you have done.

Love your work. Just saw this video and I hit subscribe immediately. Where do you get the springs in some of your videos ? Or do you fabricate them with copper tubing ?

[АртурХидиятуллин-юч]
