I welcome custom orders and commissions so if you have something you would like making, repurposing or restoring, get in touch and let’s talk about what we could achieve.

I have made several table lamps from vintage aluminium electric drills which polish up beautifully and have gone down well with customers. This one is set apart by the rare angled output gearbox for getting into restricted spaces.

Full description

A vintage electric drill made in the 1950s or early 1960s by Wolf Electric Tools Ltd, of Hangar Lane, London, reborn as a striking mains voltage table lamp. Marketed as an industrial production drill this one has the add-on 90-degree output gearbox and had a quarter inch (6mm) chuck fitted.

The cast aluminium body has had the paint, motor, windings and gears removed and the chuck replaced with a nickel-plated ES lampholder. It has been given a polish to make it shine, though it still bears many dings and scratches from a long working life. I have retained the original double-pole trigger operated switch for an authentic look and feel, having first thoroughly checked and tested it for both function and safety.

The drill stands on an attractive and unusual wooden angled base made it from offcuts of studwork timber, stained and French polished it to give a shine. 2 metres of black fabric braided flex fitted with a correctly fused British standard plug complete the lamp.
