Class E Fountain Lamp

This was made for a very special someone in need of a floor lamp with a lot a twist.. the Class E Modern Fountain Lamp.

For this project I needed a big log so I went to our local dumps and they were glad to assist in loading it up.

I began to roughly shape this with mostly a chainsaw and an angle grinder chainsaw attachment.

After desired shape or design I'd acquired you'll need to sand fro. 50 grit to 220.

In order to get the light into place and have it swivel, the tip had to be removed. I cut out a whole in the top of the base and bottom of tip to mount all of the hardware.

To get the tip to swivel I took apart and used a fan motor and mounted that. I'm sure there's a formula for rotational to orbital motion as this was quite tricky finding the sweet spot bit I mostly used trial and error.

The light is mounted in bottom of the tip

This was just necessary.. how can it not. The pump is then mounted in the top of the base in the hole made for water storage. I used a 2 part epoxy to seal it up. I drilled a hole through the tip to run the hose.

To get power I had to drill multiple holes through the side to get the cord ran to the top.

What kind of lamp would this be if it didn't clap on and off. I used the clapper for this and basically just minimized it and plugged wires together by soldering them instead and mounted it inside with the rest of the hardware.

Fill holes with wood putty and give it some of the stain of your choice.

Plug it in and WOOLAH!!!
Clap twice for lamp.
Clap three times for rotation and fountain.
