I have seen these insulators on old poles out in western Kansas for years where my mother-in-law lives and today we went on a hunt for reachable ones. I have enough to make light fixtures for myself now. I can't wait! Great tutorial!<br />(And if I wanted to sell additional for the crazy prices I see online, I know where to get an excellent supply, just sitting on poles in beautiful condition.)Lisa Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401380344472579483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553378774702873508.post-78837644945268596752013-05-22T22:28:21.715-06:002013-05-22T22:28:21.715-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.biodtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652936607255395062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553378774702873508.post-32782960320215946552013-05-22T22:19:53.700-06:002013-05-22T22:19:53.700-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.biodtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652936607255395062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553378774702873508.post-28956688331527277972013-05-22T20:13:14.200-06:002013-05-22T20:13:14.200-06:00My Dad worked for the railroad for 45 years and wh...My Dad worked for the railroad for 45 years and when I was a kid I would go with him when he got called out at night or on weekends to fix something. He'd climb the electrical poles, sometimes in the middle of a storm. He'd occasionally bring home insulators so they very much have sentimental value to me. We are building a beach house and I've got 4 insulators that I'm going to make into lights following your directions. I've ordered the 1/2" drill bit. It's now $18.99 + $6. shipping. I've got a friend with a drill press and will start by drilling the holes. If that works, I'll go buy the light fixtures, although I can't find the exact ones you used, I've found some that I think will work. I'll post again with a progress report.

I had a bunch of the clear and blue ones. I took and made lanterns out of mine and hung them around my deck and some in my house to hold tea lights.

I love these lights.<br /><br />Powdered glass is EXTREMELY hazardous to breath so be sure to use water when drilling--just spread a little on so the glass dust will stay in place, or better yet make a little moat to fit the drill bit down into and fill it with a little water. Make the moat out of poster tack stuff. Stick it on the glass really good and put some water in. This will be better for your drill bit too--it won't wear out like it will if you drill dry. The moat will work well on something the shape of the insulator. I just learned how to make the moat in a class I took last week.Leslie Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04654821334995505453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1553378774702873508.post-47762101758935836982011-03-14T22:02:23.738-06:002011-03-14T22:02:23.738-06:00another wonderful project! your just on fire late...another wonderful project! your just on fire lately!
