It's even more impressive in person. They're donating the lamp to the Tempe Diablos, which is holding their annual Casino Night fundraiser on April 17. This item will be sold during the event's silent auction. The lamp will be sold to raise money for the Diablos, an organization that donates time and money to various community-based youth projects in Tempe.
The group often gives scholarship money to Tempe students who attend EVIT. They are so generous with our students that when they asked for help with their fundraiser, welding teacher Pete Acosta and student Demetri Davis were happy to step up to the plate.
What made this project so successful was Demetri's knowledge of guitars. He's a guitar player and likes to fix them up as a hobby, so getting the details on the lamp just right was a cinch for him.
"It just takes time," Demetri said. "You've got to do the best you can to make it look as real as possible."
Mr. Acosta choose Demetri to help on the project not only because of his love of guitars but also because of his meticulous attention to detail.
Great job! Now if only I could figure out how to convince them to make one for my office...
