Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

I do. =) I've been searching for a while for an old tin can to make into a lamp. After looking at several antique stores, I stumbled upon two old cans. They stacked together nicely to make this:


My Father-in-law did most of the work, but I did help a little. I drilled a hole in the Velvet can and used a big grinder to enlarge the hole. I also put the lamp base inside and helped put it all together.

The frame also came from the antique store. I just LOVE how it all turned out, don't you? =)
