Thought I'd try my hand at artful repurposing. My 9 year wedding anniversary to my high school sweethearts on the 27th. So I thought why not use my welding habits for something she would like.

I tore the tin roof of an almost 60 year old orchard building a few weeks ago so I could use the tin for the interior walls of my soon to be built shop. We also took stamped ridge cap cause it was cool. We started thinking of ways we could re use it. My brother in law and I thought it would make some cool lamp shades or out side wall lights.

My wife is into rustic/ repurposed stuff so I thought why not build her a table lamp.

I found an old grease can in the trusty ol interwebs and quickly snatched it up. I then started marking on 2 pieces of ridge cab with painters tape. Then came the cutting and welding we are all so addicted to. I picked up some lamp parts at the local hardware store and an led Edison bulb. An hour or so later and we have This!

It's still a ways from done but coming along.
