Put a funnel on top, and you've got yourself a fine spittoon. Ah, the memories; when I got out of high school, my first job was emptying spittoons at the town hall. I was hoping to catch on as a sponge boy at the local whorehouse, but they said I was overqualified. .

I put a lightbulb in my chuck, spun it at 1/4" intervals I marked, then took it off and measured the whole thing with a pair of verniers, wrote the g code by hand to rough turn and finish the bulb in ~22 seconds each.  They look pretty cool. This was one of the early ones.

If you look at the first bulb picture the one right behind the real bulb is sanded. One spin on the wheel and it's nice and pointed.
