Home made Island Lights?

Has anyone ever made their own Island lights? I would like to make 2 for my island I'm doing since they're so expensive to buy. I found the harp and bonnet at gaspumpheaven.com, it takes a 2 1/4" pipe. I am new to the hobby and only have 1 pump done, just bought a second this week, and have a lubester coming, so I want to build an island to display everything.

Wow you have some really nice stuff, we could have all kinds of fun with iron like that! I was just looking for some kind of base that I could attach a pipe to and make my own skins to replicate an island light. I have cnc lathe and mill capabilities, but a chunk of steel that's 10" dia. to make 2 bases is about $250. -Jake

The pipe is 2 1/4" I.D., so it's probably got an O.D. of 2 1/2" or so, could the hole in the columns be opened up just a bit to fit?? Also, about how tall are these? Thanks -Jake

Ok, I'll use a reducer bushing to fit the 2" pipe into the 2 1/4" harp, how much would shipping be for 2 aluminum ones to 49405? Thanks
