aarn: antique bottle canister light progress [home.furn]
this is just the first mock-up of some canister lights that are kind of a work in progress. a few years ago i found a box of antique glass beer bottles and decided that it would be nice to make them into lights. trying to keep this project classy is an ongoing struggle. the black electrical tape is a rought gauge of how much coverage is needed to provide a nice amount of light, but not be blinded by the bulb. i’ve been looking into some different coatings/dips for the bottles and experimenting with different cut lengths. a rotary diamond-tip bottle cutter was used to score the glass, and a coarse grit emory cloth was used to remove the burr.
more progress on this soon…
