What's the most unusual thing a customer ever asked you to turn into a lamp?

[Leader]

I've just been asked to make two tea tins into table lamps and wondered what weird things you have been asked to convert?

Not crap but many years ago I worked with a team who converted two decommissioned Bofors guns two operate on gas with ignition by way of a crude spark plug affair for a film production.

Perhaps I should change the title to "unusual" to incorporate the cool things as well.

once turned 3 horse cart wheels into lights, sbc brass lamp holders and bases, staples, small gold flex, and lots of time! they were suspended on ropes about 4meters up in a vaulted barn looked pretty good

That sounds really cool, I don't think my tea tins will look that good.

We had a local pub up here with that had that kind of lighting , also another had shotguns , a blunderbuss and other firearms and poachers paraphernalia mounted on the beams .
You can see them getting away with that now.
