Hic... the wagon wheel

I've outdone myself peoples... today I picked up my craftiest eBay purchase - and what a beauty.  You may recall from the previous post that I mentioned a light fitting?  Well, it's gonna be made from this...

... and what an amusing time I had loading it into my small car... the only way possible being via the front passenger door, past the gear shift which had to be moved to the lowest posi, over the fully reclined driver's seat and wedged behind with the seat returned to its correct position.  Fortunately, it sat there happily for the trip home but getting it out again was quite tricky.

Now for the really fun part... making the light fitting.  Again, stay tuned.
