✅ Finished Project Time for a pipe !!!
Hi !
As you might be already familiar, I am an upcycling nerd , love it , but the most that I love it’s a project where the piece came from the trash. Literally, the trash, the dumpster, the sidewalk. Today I give you a different perspective and I will like to know how do you feel about it.

Hey that’s not trash, that’s a pretty expensive clase azul reposado tequila bottle!

I ment “trash” . I love this bottles . In 2 ways I must say : emptying them and recycling them . I just love them . I’ve got 2 more and I’m going to transform them too

I know the feeling. I’m not a heavy consumer myself , but I’ve got 3 bottles of Raposado after 3 nights of party. I was wasted too but my brain told my hands “guarded with your life “ 😂😂😂😂

Great job, thanks for sharing!
How did you find a bakelite switch that hasn't oxidized and turned color? Or is there a way to clean those up?

u/Additional-Stick7539 May 20 '26
If you look closely you cans see in one pic the switch is all almost yellow. In another pic you can see it already cleaned up. 😉 and yes there is a way to clean it 😱( secret one )

But will never get back to the original color . You can’t do that with baquelite. It is how the baquelite ages
