Outdoor light assembly
This is a light design that I came up with today consisting of a length of copper tubing flared at the end.The shade is an old aluminium cigar tube top.The other parts are similar to the main hangars light assemblies.
The bulbs in those days were large and generally left uncovered by a shade.

John, I've been following this thread for a few months & just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy it! I'm staring at your last picture & half expecting to see a mechanic step outside, fish a cigarette out of his drill jacket pocket & light up.
Great work!!!

Old hangars at night are kind of creepy,I agree! I love to hear comments like this as the whole purpose of doing art like this is to raise those types of emotions in your viewer.
