I also

You need to get a lathe and make some lamps.

Got one. Two actually, one for wood, one for metal. Need to dig out
the russian olive & see if it's ready maybe?

Actually I _have_ used a couple of these cords for original electronics
projects and repairs, but I've got a shoebox full of them and I made a
concious decision last year to stop saving them.

How's that working out for you?
