A different lamp base

("John T" wrote)
On a slightly differnt tack, I have a prop blade from a Beech Starship
that my company used to lease. I've been wondering what to do it it, but
I'm not sure it's stable enough to be a lamp post, and I don't think I
could get a wire through it. Any ideas?


Pack it in a box and ship it to the Alexis Park Inn (Google it). I bet Jay
would put it up in his hotel with your name on it.

It was sure nice seeing the Starship at Oshkosh this year.

A machinist worth his salt should be able to bore that long of a hole. As
far as stability, how about a spinner with a hole cut in the small in to
pass the prop through? A bunch of weight in it should make it stable
enough.

Oh, we have the tooling to cut a long hole, called a gun drill. You see,
the problem is that lubrication for the drill comes out of the tip of
the drill, under high pressure. So whaddya think happens when the drill
breaks out of the end?
