That is a great idea I wish I had not thrown away the giant trash can full when I moved 10 years ago. My friend had 600 acres with a 1800's abandoned rail line running Thru it we had collected a pile off the poles. Now I wish I had saved the poles too.

They look great against the rustic wood.

I hit up the Charlotte Auto Fair last weekend out at the track, and finally pickup up an old single barrel carb that I have wanted to build a lamp out of for some time now. I ended up integrating a touch dimmer switch into the float bowl and was able to wire up the rest of the lamp no problem. Turned out real cool, anybody have a box of old single barrel carbs laying around I can buy?

When I was in the Air Force I had a full size keg that they wouldn't take back. One weekend we took a touch lamp apart and combined the 2. Touch the keg, the light comes on... Seems any metal item works! We thought it was great!

Filmed a segment on an upcoming local event and they wanted to feature my lamps...interesting doing a live TV morning show! Good thing they didn't let me talk long...I'm better behind the scenes!
