Restoration of Vintage Engineers Desk Lamp - Saved from the Scrap Pile!
I got this old engineer's desk lamp as part of an auction lot. It was so rusty and in such poor shape I nearly tossed it - but thought it would make a decent restoration project!
It was badly seized, so taking the thing apart took a fair amount of time and effort and left a big pile of rust flakes - but I was victorious!
Once apart, I removed all the rust and old paint, filled in the rust pits with body filler and treated everything to a new coat of paint.
As I wanted the lamp to be free standing, I had to make a base for it - it was originally designed to be bolted directly to a desk or some machinery. So I turned a new base on my wood lathe, using an old gym weight as ballast.
All in all, it came up pretty nice, and will prove useful around the workshop - expect to see it in future videos!
