Hello everyone! I am new here but have read around the forum a bit and like what a see. It seems like this is a very positive, helpful, and knowledgeable community. Which leads me to ask for some help.
I have been making lamps lamps out of galvanized pipe and want to add a dimmer to my lamps and use a gate valve as the dimmer control. I have seen it done before and will post a link to a video of one in action. In the video, you will notice that the person did not use a gate valve, but instead, used a 1 1/4" tee fitting with a gate valve knob retrofitted.
The mechanics of it are not hard for me to understand, however, what rotary style dimmer would fit in such a small area is what is preventing me from completing this endeavor. Any help, suggestions, or comments are really appreciated. Thanks! Here is the link to the video I referred to.
