{idea} Sick of Margaritas? Turn Your Blender Into a Lamp!

Problem: an old blender that doesn’t work!
Solution: turn it into a funky lamp!

You can learn to make this blender lamp on Instructables. The only tiny sticking point for me is that this guy works somewhere there’s a sandblaster so he was able to get the blender sandblasted for free and make it frosty-cool. But you or I would probably not be able to do that so easily or cheaply.

I’m kind of annoyed right now because I had a garage sale recently and I sold not one but TWO old blenders. Dammit. Now I’ll have to wait until my current blender craps out OR find a garage sale blender myself. Or, just not do this project. That’s a good solution too.
