Who Says Shells can't be lamps

[flamencome.livejournal.com]

I just made for my son a lamp made out of a real tank shell casing and bike sprockets.  The tank shell is about 2 feet high and it was a gift to my dad who died last year.  It was from a tank in Kuwait.  Anyways, I saw it and thought it would be pretty amusing making it into something vs. just displaying it.  Now my son has something really unique.
