i got the lamp this past weekend. and i have to say i am very impressed. well built, clean, solid, a nice work of art. i will post some photos of it when i get a chance. awesome product. thanks steve!

here are the photos that i finally got a chance to upload.

Thanks! If anyones still interested i have enough parts at this time to assemble 5 more.

Sent you a text on the mini lamp Steve. Did you receive it?

I have still been having issues with my phone. I didnt get a text that i recall but go ahead and let me know when is good to meet im still working up north near your house. Sorry about that!

No worries. I'm around most of the week and after work as well aside from Thursday.

Ok guys sorry if youve been awaiting pm replies or anything!! Ive been extremely busy with work thankfully and still havent gotten my macbook fixed! I still have lamps available if anyone is interested, brian i havent forgotten you! Im up your way every day but after work im ready to pass out somewhere! I have surgery scheduled next saturday up in perth amboy so i will probably swing by beforehand

Steve, I was following your lamp builds for some time and watched your business and quality improve over time. The Mini lamp was going to be my suggestion for the 4 cylinder people (Honda-Toyota etc.) so that might also be a better choice for a kids room, less likely to fall over and hurt something.
My next suggestion is to get a Patent for these. It may seem silly, but if you ever watched the TV show Shark Tank, many a small business started with an idea. If somebody with more help and a larger shop, could turn these out faster and cheaper, you might not have enough friends to keep this business afloat. Good luck with this and I hope it expands into a business that maybe will be your dream job.:nod:

Thanks!! Even my most recent ones are drastically more time and cost efficient for me to build, while looking even better at the same time. One example is im using aluminum plates for the top instead of steel, and polishing them to match the cams shine, with two small bolts. Originally i had two large bolts, then later three small bolts with a black steel plate. The aluminum looks better and is easier to make and shape, with less drilling and tapping while achieving a more professional look. Ill post photos shortly for comparison

are you still making the MINI ones? like from 4 cyl camshafts. the desktop ones? i like my lamp so much i might want to get a smaller version for a desk i will have in the basement soon enough. whats the cost on one of those>?

Has anyone seen a cam from a four cylinder? They aren't much shorter to keep calling them mini lamps.

The mini lamp is a cam cut in half

This.



*edit*
And it is awesome.

Keep in touch Steve.

my bad. i assumed he was using a cam from a v4 or motorcycle v4 type engine. gothca im an idiot

Any chance getting one of a Lambo v12 cam?
I will be looking for a cam myself too. lol

That might be pretty sweet.....

wait... do the lambos even have cams? lol i know the v12 jags did.

Hey guys sorry I havent been on much lately, things were very hectic. Anyways,

I have 2 (two) large LS cam lamps ready to go out my door immediately. I built them (black on black with sprockets) and the guy backed out. Not anyone from this club though dont worry :)

Anyway I have TWO ready to go, and since its EASTER I want to put a special price on them of $100 each plus shipping (if it needs to be shipped)

and of course if anybody else wants one who missed them the first time around and gets me paypaled with a deposit before monday i will honor this low price

then monday i start on the OFFICIAL second round of lamps. I have a box of cams ready to turn into something awesome now that I have the time again. also i have some new ideas and plans so maybe if you bought one the first time around you may see something new you love anyways. So please keep checking this thread. Thanks everybody and happy easter!

Good to see you back around, Steve! Hope those lamps sell! I love mine, use it everyday.

i think solenoid actuators open valves
