Don't think there is much chance of them getting knocked over, but if they do.
They look good.
Did you do them yourself?

Hi Guys
well it's just the start i had an idea and yes ikea 9.99 lamp but the base is wide and hev but like any thing in life......and im working out a price..... theres a lot of work gone into it crank to base....time.... but this one has to be redone so the base is a big disc off a TVR as the crank....

I toyed with the idea of table lamps made from smaller cranks. Small hatchbacks, motorbikes maybe?

can you get the flex to go down the inside? They look terrible flapping about out there.

As a retailer of interesting and unusual things, we regularly get shown new ideas and lamps come high up the list. Unfortunately, after seeing what red tape you have to get through to be able to legally sell any form of lighting and CE marking, even with adapted aftermarket lights, it is never really worth it.
