\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Bill told us he would like to Steampunk a large lamp, so I volunteered one of the ones I have in my garage.\u00a0 It’s a biggie!\u00a0 The regular 75 watt lamp is beside it in the pic.<\/p>\n

I also have another one similar in size but shaped like the 75 watt lamp, because it’s incandescent.\u00a0 I think it’s a 500 watt , but I’m not sure.\u00a0 It’s boxed up in one of the many boxes I put in the garage when I moved last month.\u00a0 I’m not sure which box, and most likely it’s buried in the stack.\u00a0 But anyway, it’s clear, not frosted like the one in the picture.\u00a0 I think that if the lamp is opened up, the frosting can be removed.\u00a0 But then maybe it would look better with the frosting if it is being filled with LEDs.<\/p>\n

The glass can be cut with a cutting tool.\u00a0 But I learned a long time ago that there is another way to cut it.\u00a0 A piece of string is tied around the joint where it is to be cut.\u00a0 The string is wetted with a flammable fluid, I think lighter fluid was what was used, but I’m not sure.\u00a0 The string is lit, and when it goes out, the glass will break cleanly if it is dunked in water.\u00a0 I should google this and see if I’m correct.\u00a0 Here is one person’s description<\/a> of how it is done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
