All new LW users love the way it makes cool chrome shiny stuff. So forgive me if I share mine. Its not chrome but brass.

According to accounts the last thing seen as the USS Monitor sunk in a gale was its red navigation lantern. This lantern was recovered. This is my quick (less than an hour to construct) approximation (no measurements or drawings) of this lantern.

For those others new to LW the tools I learned and used to produce this were Rail Extrude, Lathe, and Radial Array. Very powerful stuff! :)
