New use for a crank

[Mike325]

Hey guys, long time no see. Now I know this is not original, I just thought that it would be cool to make.







Thanks to Jared (ivegotissues666) and Sam (mossman) for the flywheel. Need to find a shade still. What do you guys think it weighs?

Thats hot dude. It really seems to set off your decor

Pardon me, but have you opened all the doors to that advent calendar already? SOMEONE's hungry.

You should polish the journals and paint the rest. Looks cool though. I along with many others I am sure, Have a M20 block coffee table.

But I do have a ruined crank and a extra warped flywheel...

What would really be hot is a hollow M42 camshaft used as a lamp upright.

You would have to bore it out à la DCColegrove, but it would definitely look a lot cleaner with the power cord hidden away.

Ya, still thinking about the paint, but not sure yet, kinda like the o'natural look. And the advent calendar is not done yet, it is still the 17th silly:p

[Optimator]

o'natural? Is that the Irish for "au naturel"? Massive Lee might back me up here, but then again I think his swollen spider button is still pulsating upon every systole.

Ha, good to see you're still alive, Mike. :D

Helena Bonham Carter? That poster is awesome.

Good eye on the poster. I had it made up from a pic from my computer. Thanks guys.
