Charity Shop Find


Found this today in the local Oxfam and simply had to have it, it only cost me £10. I believe it is a demonstration pressure gauge and probably would have been used for teaching at a school or university. That is why it is so large (approx 2.5 feet tall). It is my intention to turn it into a lamp, I plan to add a bulb holder and some form of shade to the top of the large Manometer tube housing and then buy some vintage style braided flex to connect it up.

Sorry for the break

Sorry for not posting anything for ages, a job suddenly came up and I had to relocate to Leeds hence nothing has got done for about the past two months. I'm now beginning to settle in and have already made a few purchases, for my builds.
