    Well I think it is the same reason why people paint stuff white, hang it outside in the rain to rust and then call it brocante....

    I love the idea that by putting a random pressure gauge on something it automatically becomes art….](*,)

    someone bought that ? :shock:

    Well, there it is.. there’s the demand..
    if someone is prepared to pay £90 for that

    No wonder folks are buying up lamps and drilling like there’s no tomorrow, there is a market for it, no doubt about it :-(

    @ColinG

    I know it’s a sin, though I did google ‘up cycled Tilley lamps’. There you go, I’ve confessed! The question is, will you be able to stop yourself having a wee look?.....
