Making a cool desk lamp using a rare motorbike engine head.

DIY vintage style desk lamp made from a off-casting of a 1919 Excelsior Board Tracker engine head that I got from Paul Brodie. I made it and gifted it back to him!
The lamp has 12" Mahogany arms with a Danish Oil finish. Custom turned brass knobs, vintage style LED bulb a purchased lamp assembly.

Sweet lamp man - I am sure PB loves it (saw it on his channel) - if you can impress him with a build, must be top-notch - well done again.

[@MikeFreda]

Thank you. Paul is a great guy. He sure does appreciate other peoples ability to make things with their hands.

[@paulbrodie]

Nice lamp! Thanks again Mike. I will look for another cylinder head tomorrow. Good video too :)

[@MikeFreda]

You’re welcome! This was one of my favourite projects I did in 2021.

I'm danish and I have absolutely no idea why that's called danish oil. Cool lamp!

[@MikeFreda]

Thanks. It was my understanding that in the 20th century a lot of modern looking wooden furniture was coming out of that part of the world and they developed a low sheen finish similar to Tung Oil. People around the world just started calling it Danish oil and it stuck.

Thank you for the video, nice detail with some interesting into parts used. I would maybe added more engine components, spark plug, Coil, Vehicle Lamp..... :)

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I did consider doing that but I didn't want it to get too "campy". It is a fine line! lol
