Bulb in-fuse-on

 I wanted to share the birth process of this light bulb oil lamp and the realisation for a good use of the porcelain and other parts of old fuse boxes.

It was made mainly out of these parts.
Door latch, fuse components, light bulb and a sea compass.
All of these are old and beautiful by themselves, though for me at the time, pretty useless.

I had a wonderful realisation about the fuse components and how to make good use of their beautiful porcelain parts and screw thread that is exactly the same helix as in light bulb. I would like to know is this a universal phenomenon or just in Finland, but I think it is a global standard on old-type fuses.

So on the left we see the two parts of the fuse box. On the middle right we see how the fuse box ring fits equally in to the light bulb and in to the fuse holder likewise, and how they meet in the middle creating a sturdy connection.
On the far right we can see how the light bulb fits also inside the porcelain fuse holder when the metal helix is removed.

 Here we can see them put together. The fuse's metal helix is sturdy with the bulb, and the porcelain knob moves around it loosely and in this way makes it possible to adjust the flame size by getting more or less wick, since the wick is ringed more tightly lower down.

The back leg was released from it's functional prison, giving the latch a new purpose to serve as limb for the lamp.                         

 The connection where made either with screws or by using copper wire by making soft rivets.

 Other legs are joined to these steel parts that happened to have right size holes in them. They are pinned to the main body -a big brass nut -  with nails.

The bulb was simply poked empty with a screwdriver.

'The wick had to be the right size to work nicely with the porcelain knob, so I made the wick by spinning it from 5 meters of thin cotton twine with a hanger.
