Title: first shed lamp
Post by: bowhunterwa87 on April 22, 2014, 09:39:08 PM: Just finished my first shed lamp the other day and was curious how many others would like to share a pic of theirs. Matching 4pt w eyeguards and wires came from a goodwill lamp.

Post by: sebla on April 28, 2014, 06:27:02 AM: I used a 3/8in 4ft long thermostat bit. It only has about 3in of bit and the rest is smooth it is real flexable so it follows the marro easy. Had to drill from both sides because of the bend. Another guy i know drilled as far as he could one way and the other and took a visene dropper and put some water in it, put some drops in the horn and it softened it up enough to clean it out with a coat hanger.

Post by: Duckhunter14 on June 26, 2014, 10:12:43 AM: I know its a terrible picture. But my hunting partner made this for his future in laws cabin. It's two match set 6 point bulls. He uses a small router to run his power cords and then a dark brown putty over it to hide them. This is the 3rd one he's made and they all have turned out awesome. The picture doesn't do it justice.
