New Watertower Lamp!

This is a gift for my parents for Christmas. I've been meaning to make them one for a number of years and finally got around to it.

This piece is also a test for a hopeful new direction. I've been seeing lighting everywhere in public art these days and thought I'd try out a couple of small pieces myself to see how to design with it. I've made a few of these lamps with the light shooting out the bottom of the watertank but since this one (a replica of the the one that used to be in my hometown) has a rounded underside of the tank I had to come up with a new way to light it. I thought it'd be fun to play around with some LED strip lighting and I think it turned out pretty well for how simple it is. Obviously, as I progress down this path, I'll have to use a more robust lighting system but for now this works.

I hope they like it!
