A while back, I posted some concept drawings of some tabletop lamps for a bedroom with an art deco look. The woodworking portion is now done, and I will begin work on the plexiglass shade as shown in the last pic below. I must admit, I do not like working with acrylic.
The lamp's simple design required a lot of jigs to fabricate the parts and assemble them. Three lamps are being made which will help justify the time spent on making these jigs. The wood is poplar and the finish is 'hammerite'.
Thanks for checking it out!
