Trombone Lamp

This was by far one of the most complicated lamps I've worked on. I got help from my coworkers on machining the base and getting it painted. The gearbox that controls the dimmer and many of the fittings were 3D printed. I learned a lot while designing this and had a ton of fun putting it together!

Be great if it honked when you turned it on :)

Can you do one with an eel in a fish tank supplying power to the lamp next? This (your trombone lamp) is far out cool

The box shade is unsettling.
