The tall lamp.
This is the tallest lamp I forged. Going up to more that 2 metres high the long steel rod is screwed on to a large gaz cylinder to which I had to had weight with 2 pulley from an old crane. Every thing is naturally patinated in black and bee's waxed. My atelier is too small to forge this long rode, so I took out the forge and forged it outside. The top part is an assembly of different parts like a green glass isolator coming from a hight voltage pylon, a lampshade which has been patinated black at the forge . The at assembly of those two parts is fixed to forged part that link to the long rode with a bolt and a screw. This allows to control the direction of the lampe. On the forged rod I places 4 fixing points to pass the electric cable. They are forged and hold to the long rod with two little screws coming from old sewing machines. As usual no welding, every part of this lamp is screwed together allowing to unbuilt it easily .
