This night light is actually a knightlight. Get it? I do and it’s very pun-ny. This humorous and no doubt noble knightlight was created by Professor Theodosius O’Bliviate, a 15-year old crafter and prop maker. And it looks awesome.
You may not be familiar with GeekGirlCon. It isn’t one of the biggest conventions, so that’s understandable. However, there are some amazing things happening there. Amazing and scary.
Punished Props attended in full Draugr Deathlord attire from Skyrim. Just look at these pics. The detail on the armor is just stunning.
If I saw these guys anywhere I would run away screaming and so would you. I have killed enough of these guys in the game, so I would immediately assume that they were there for some payback. Hence the running away like a little girl. I’m all tough when playing the game, but when these things enter real life, not so much. Man, these two look scary as hell.
Do you have a round table in your court, but no lighting in your castle that goes with it? Make yourself a cool knight lamp! It’s also perfect for illuminating your next D&D game night.
Best of all, you can make it by using some fairly inexpensive parts. Just follow Mr. Hyde’s directions over on Instructables. You’ll need a knight’s helm of course, a few wires and metal tubing. Oh, and a crankshaft from a car, but that’s optional. I suppose if you use a cam shaft, your knight lamp will be from Cam-elot. Get it? Ha ha. That was terrible.
With this lamp, your lighting will be much more medieval. Turn it on and pass the mead and a giant turkey leg. Tonight we feast by the helm of the man you have bested in DIY combat.
