Coop Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Now you've got me curious. What type of lamps do you make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeslayer Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 thanks for the great welcome everyone, the lamps are similar to greene and greene, i have made 6 of them so far, 2 cherry with rosewood inlay, 3 white oak dovetailed on all sides with an inlay of stained glass around the rim of the shade and one white oak with walnut inlay. thanks again for the welcome, i can see it's a great forum to learn many things and share ideas, dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Very nice work! I assume you also made the shades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks for the compliment,Yeah, the shades were the hardest part, a couple of them ended up in the burn pile before I got it right. A friend of mine has been doing stained glass for 30 years and has an awesome selection of glass of all types, I pick one out and he cuts them to the pattern I gave him. The angle on the shade is 40 degrees, half lapp joints for strength then cut 22 1/2 degree on each side to get to square Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
