I know Lucky13's husband got one of these, but I promised GTTBM and others I would post pictures of the one I gave my BIL on Xmas Eve as a goof gift.
MAN-go brought a real wooden crate home from work, I painted it, and the leg lamp is home made. I bought the mannequin leg from E-bay from a distributor and the parts from Good Will. Only cost me about $25 to make the whole the thing. :lol:
He found the crate outside his door while the movie A Christmas Story was on and that scene with the leg lamp was just coming on. :rolling:
Classic.

Wow! What a classic, Mango--great photos, great job on the lamp! You guys might have found your calling (or special purpose if you're a Steve Martin fan). I think your leg lamp definitely gives my sister's a run for its money. Ba-dump-bump.

Tootsie,
Do you know when the lights at Defuniak are over? My parents don't think they are leaving now until Friday, which means getting here Saturday or Sunday. They really want to see the lights.
Thanks!

Yes, they have a large picture window facing the road in the living room.
They said next year, forget the lighted deer etc. Just the lamp comes out!:funn:

That is the best! :floor: They had Hallmark ornaments with the crate and the leg lamo inside and it had that quote when you pressed the button. They sold out in a second. Couldn't get my hands on one.

Thanks Pea, I think it is pretty close to the original too. Kinda all fell into place luckily.
We thought we should make outdoor path lighting with those for the holiday. :rolling:

:lolabove:
I think the best part was my 99 yr. old grandfather was sitting in the livingroom watching the movie, and he saw all the commotion outside, and he got up and looked out the window and started laughing hysterically. I never saw him laugh so hard. That made it even all the more worth it. :wub:
