Urinal Lamp

This is a project i did in my free time while still in highschool. I figured "whats the dumbest possible thing i can make?" naturally a urinal was at the top of that list. The actual bowl is carved out of butternut wood and was built up in layers. The flush box is made of oak plywood, it contains a light, colour wheel, a small motor, a dimmer switch to control the speed of the motor, and a fish tank air pump. The pull switch that hangs down turns everything on and off. The tubes are made of a thin clear plastic and are filled with distilled water. Air hoses run from the pump to the bottom of each tube so it bubbles when turned on. All of the conecting pieces and the handle are made of purple heart.

I am now for ever known at my old highschool as "the urinal guy"
