In this article we will analyze how you can make a stylish lamp out of plumbing equipment. The assembly of such a lamp is simple and will be interesting.

Step One: Prepare the Crane
For the lamp you need a water tap, or rather its upper part. We disassemble the crane.
Step Two: Switch Assembly
The assembly of such a crane switch is simple. A larger tee is taken (so that a switch can be installed in it). An adapter is selected to connect the top of the crane and the tee. The axle box screw is screwed into the adapter. A silicone tube is put on the valve sleeve. The second end of the tube is mounted on the handle of the switch. When turning the handle of the crane, the switch will turn.
To fix the upper part of the crane, the master uses glue. On glue, the switch is also fixed.
Step Three: Build
Next, you need to assemble the lamp stand and adds a wire. The junction is insulated with a thermotube.
The wizard installs the connectors on the ends of the switch wires and connects the wire.
Gathers the stand and pulls the rope through it. To ensure that the part does not unwind, apply a retainer to the threads.
Continues assembly. Ties a wire to a rope and pulls through a pipe. Connects wires. Assembles a rack. Installs a cartridge.
Step Four: Prop
For support, the master took a piece of board. Drills a hole for the wire, and four mounting holes.
On the bottom side cuts out a groove for wires.
Screws the stand to the support.
Step Five: applying varnish
Covers luminaire parts with varnish, having previously closed the valve handle and cartridge.
That's all. Later, the master cut out a groove and installed a charger for the phone.
So, from simple things you can make a beautiful and original thing.
