After taking almost 3 weeks off of Oppo due to family, personal and business reasons. I wanted to share a really cool thing for you enterprising tinkerers. This guy made a lamp out of an old 2 stroke engine. Very simple and very cool. Link here.

It's hardly worth trying after 3 weeks. 3 days is time-consuming enough!

As a gearhead who's into furniture design I find this very cool.

Yeah, I am starting to see the futile logic in it.

And he did it with simple hand tools. I like that.

Welcome back. That sure is pretty. It appears to be an old Power Bee, which I have two of waiting for me to reassemble and make some parts for.

I couldn't make this

I'd end up just sitting there turning the crank, turning the light on and off all day and sending my dog into a seizure

Then I'd connect a motor to the crank so I could flip a switch to turn the crank and turn the light on and off all day and send my dog into a seizure
