Check out this awesome bedside table adornment!
Coming to us via the Crafster Forums , Crafster user "fluffypants" (I don't wanna know), has taken a NES Zapper, a duckhunt cartridge, some foam board and lamp fixtures and crafted this way cool table lamp! From the site: "So one day I picked up an NES Zapper (gun) and went "woah, that would make a cool lamp!" So... after playing around...Then I stumbled around for ideas for the base and shade. A regular cartridge was too small a base, so I measured one and made a 1.5 scale replica out of cardboard, and screwed the gun to it. I weighted it with stones, and then tackled the shade. I picked up a $2 shade at the re-store, a pack of fun foam, and voila! After hours and hours of cutting pixellated shapes, I was done! A little dab of glue to secure the shade, and... ta dah!" Awesome work! I just really hope that the zapper wasn't dead. As we continue on aging, parts and pieces for the original systems are starting to become more and more scarce and more in demand than recent years. If it was dead, so be it, it was headed for a landfill anyways. Nice work fluffypants! Duck Hunt NES Zapper Lamp
