Yet another lamp........

The last few days I've been working on the lamp pictured here.It started it's life as a water can which I cut in half.The gears were then bend in shape and soldered on the can.With a Dremel tool the copper inside the gear was removed.
Holes were then drilled in the shape of a circle on the can.
The most work went into the fabrication of the chains which were all made from scratch.
The light switch is on top of the can,I used a white LED with two 3 Volt button cells and a 150 Ohm resistor for the lighting.
