Old drills like this have come to the end of their usefulness and need to be recycled. Instead of going to the scrap pile I thought it could be turned into a lamp. I removed the motor and installed an industrial lamp socket to the top of it. The original switch is used to turn the lamp on. To keep the light on, the switch is locked into the on position. The drill is mounted on a heavy metal base. The lamp is an Edison lamp.
I thought this lamp would be a good addition to a man's cave.

This bowl is made from left over scraps of Brazilian teak hardwood flooring. This called a segmented bowel.
This bowl is made from Manitoba maple or sugar tree.

All my bowls are finished with a food safe finish.
