    Default Wooden plane "upgraded to a lamp"

    On the New Zealand TradeMe website (equivalent of eBay).
    A plane that has been modified to become a bedside lamp.

    Edward Preston was ahead of his time and added glass knobs with light filaments to his wooden trying planes where others added striking pads....

    Aside from the simply bad taste and destruction of a tool, I've never understood the design obsession for mains connected, unprotected glass lamp globes sitting around.

    At least it will keep someone warm for a few minutes when they burn it in the wood heater.
