Vintage Simpson voltmeter w/ dimmer reading across lightbulb terminals
Edit: Thanks so much for all the interest! While in college I did a few art shows, but I don't have much time to make/sell lamps any more. I'm hoping to pick it back up again a few years once my Navy commitment is over. I have a lot more on my (inactive) Instagram 'retrolit'

I thought you adjust wattage and not voltage for bulb brightness, so why does the voltage drop?

This would be really cool with dove-tails on the housing! Hone up on your woodworking skills, take it to the next level.

Do you sell instructions to build one?

That's the sort of thing I would want if I could build it myself off of plans from a Popular Mechanics article.

Ok, I either need a shop link to buy them or a tutorial link on how to make them.

You can try Rosie's Workshop for very similar stuff

I haven't had time to sell them for a while. Not too hard to make lamps, Google a tutorial and from there it's just variations of a theme!

Dooting because there are folk in my life who need such things, too.

I’ve been collecting pipe fittings, old gauges and lamp sockets with the plan to make some Steampunk lamps.

ChaneDawg
But do you love them?
Mark2dot0
That's pretty neat. Out of curiosity do you sell them? If you have a site I'd love to see what else you have.

I haven't had time in a while to maintain an Etsy :(

You make lamp parts for the American working man because that's what you are, and that's who you care about

Do you make others?
Heracleidae
I do! I take vintage items and turn then into lamps
Grotesquesque
I bought a lamp from you! At the garage sale warehouse! I bought the globe one

As an EE. holy fuck did I go too far in when I could have just made lamps
Heracleidae
As another EE, lamps don't make nearly as much money lol

That’s a great idea. It’s mine now.
Heracleidae
They're fun to make!

I have this idea of a dial up phone where 0 Is off, 9 is brightest. :)
Heracleidae
You could do a rotary dial phone where the axis of the dial is connected to a rotary dimmer switch! That's an awesome idea.
