The other fixture would be to make a desk lamp out of a valve cover for the executive type that has a car themed office.
Those are great ideas. One of these days, when I have the time, I may build something like that.

I've seen lamps made out of old funnels and cabinet or pull handles made out of old wrenches.

I like that idea. I have some valve covers that would work out well.
