    Tin can magnetic lamp

    Getting out of my garage this morning, I saw this one and suddenly thought that it is a homemade tool !

    It's a magnetic lamp, 100% from salvaged items :



    So :
    - an old socket and bulb from an old lamp
    - an old tin can
    - the half of an old shower hose
    - a big magnet (ok I bought it, it's for trailers and tractors, but cheap)
    - A piece of beech, from an old bed leg.
    - an old long cable and plug, from an old vacuum
    - inside the hose, a couple of big diameter iron wires that roughly keep the shape I give to them

    Isn't it salvation ?

    Cheers,
    Christophe

    Edit, another time, I will show you my big depth caliper that is hanging on the wall behind ...
