Hmmm, what could that be?

So one day my brother came for a visit and he brought some junk along that he thought I might like.  Among those things was an old milk can.  He said maybe I could use it as a planter, and I did.  But it took too much dirt and was hard to plant in with that narrow neck.

 
 

So one day I decided that if I cut the top off it would make a better (if less interesting) planter.

 
But then I was more interested in the top than the bottom and wondered what I could do with the top.  I pondered this for a while and remembered that I had made a lamp out of bricks and wasn't real happy with the crumby dime-store lamp shade I had found in the attic for that so...
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Lucky my wife is so tolerant of my dumb ideas

Alcohol may have been involved.

There was perfectly good driveway not two feet away.
