Last Revision (Maybe)

You may remember me making a birdbath HERE.  It went through many revisions as multiple parts broke.  The last straw was when we had a new roof put on last December.  The roofing crew backed over it and shattered the white glass lamp base.  Today I decided to try to resurrect it.  
It is not as elegant as before, but maybe it will be more durable. 
I used the same hubcap and weighted base that I constructed before.  I used some old lamp and ceiling fan parts, a doorknob, 
and an insulated plastic cup from Dollar General that I got for a penny a couple of years ago.  I don't know what I was saving it for, this I guess.  
To top it off, I used a bubble glass light shade that I got from the Big Bens Dealz Store on $1 day. 
                                          
 I think it turned out good enough.  Now  I need to dig down and bury the base a little bit for more stability and to make it look more balanced.

  1. I went to the link and I can say it looks like none of the parts of this new creation came from the original (except the idea). This piece has had quite a history.
