We went to a couple of garage sales the other weekend and I came home with two broken standard lamps! I didn't want to - but I couldn't resist! It's not like I needed more projects!! 🤣🤣

Yet another awesome video, Chris! Those lamps are beautiful. I love the continual optimistic tone of your voice, too. Your glass is always half full. 😊

Tip for anyone refurbishing one of these: If you look carefully at the stem or upright, some of them can be unscrewed into two halves making it much easier to thread the cord. Makes them easier to transport too!

An excellent tip Dave and I had forgotten some lamps had this option. Usually the more recent ones though - neither of these unscrew. Thanks for watching 😊👍

Thanks BB. I have them set up and working in the shop now. They look good and add to the lighting - so I don't mind if they take awhile to sell..

Nice save Chris. Standard lamps were the rage back in the day, I always liked them. My Mum used to read under hers with the light shining down on the book 🙂

Thanks mate. Yeah, out of all the classic antiques, standard lamps are still reasonably popular! 👌😊

I love it when a saved part in a jar fixes a new purchase. Those lamps are beautiful. Ive been avoiding garage sales lately, too hard to not bring half of it home.
@TheUltimateRecycler

Yep, it validates that we are doing the right thing saving all sorts of odd parts!! 😃👍 Garage sales can indeed be a hazard for that reason mate! 😲

Excellent save Chris, a standard lamp can be very useful and shed a pleasant light in a room, good mood lighting ! Let us know how they do in the shop, would be great if they make what you have suggested ! I know what you mean about the Comments, there's always a few who have to "educate" you ! 😉
