    Machinists Lamp

    I had a spare snub from a DTI holder and I had a piece of 3" diameter round steel left over from the traction engine front wheels - somehow I thought these might make a nice desk lamp project

    The snub appears to be an apprentice piece (bought at a car boot sale)

    The lamp uses a GU10 LED bulb

    Would still be useful as a DTI base...
