Repurposed / Upcycled No. 10 Milking Stool & Flashlight Lamp

I've made it to 10!  This is the 10th repurposed lamp I've made to date and, between you and me, I think they are getting taller!  Ha!

I ran across this great, old milking stool that had seen a few better days.  After some TLC and several coats of red and green paint, it was ready for some distressing and character.  I gave it a good bit of that before adding the cloth measuring tap around the perimeter.  Finally, it got a clearcoat bath.

I used a vintage, chrome emergency flashlight and pot lid for the center shaft fabrication.  The flashlight polished up pretty good!  On top is a vintage cake cover lid with an older silverplate casserole tray mounted inside of it.  The top also got some clearcoat.

This upcycled item, along with my other creations, is available in the GadgetSponge Etsy Shopand at Timeline Antiques in Shreveport, LA!
