The lamp is and old fishing pole , the clock the numbers are fishing flies made by my son who is a fly fisherman a good one at that , fishing pole I hand made the reel is a bobbin of a sewing machine , the net is from a bag like the ones when you buy onions painted green…. Those were done long time ago

Very nice! I like the use of the old rod/reel for the lamp.

GMman,
These are very nice projects and are quite unique. The clock and the lamp are certainly ones that any fisherman would appreciate.
Thanks for the post.

Now what would be really cool is if the lamp turned on and off by cranking the reel!

That must be hard to reel in a fish, especially with that tiny net. (haha) Cool projects.
