Industrial Cast Iron Pulley Edison Lamp - Metal & Woodworking How to

In this video I make a pulley styled lamp from an old treadle sewing machine base. The base was cracked in several places and wasn't suitable for a table or the like.

This is a pretty straight forward project. I tried to cover all of the steps to make it achievable for just about anybody. Of course the tools are the limitation. But maybe you have a friend that can help with that.

You can find old treadle sewing machines on Craigslist if you keep an eye on the listings. Sometimes it's just the base for sale. I've purchased a few bases for $25.

I really like the cast iron pulley look. This type of industrial edison lamp is always fun to make.
