Hopefully I can keep this simple. Im about to fabricate the above light to be used around the shop/property as needed. Base is a 14-1/2 inch worn out disc harrow blade. Stem is 3/4 inch steel conduit. On top will be a 4 inch octagon steel light fixture box, bulb socket is a simple porcelain one (perhaps I should get a lighter plastic one) and bulb is a screw in LED bulb with three adjustable arms. Cord will be inside stem with a grommet where it exits the base.
Now here is the question: How tall do you think I can make the stem and still be stable (not tip over easily)? I am using all scrap materials so everything will be welded solid (no connectors). Altering the height after the fact will not be real simple.
Thank you for your input on this project.
