Build this
English Style LAMP
Here is the original article straight
from
Book No. 4510, PRACTICAL DELTA PROJECTS
NEW & NOVEL THINGS TO MAKE,
BOOK 10
DELTA MFG. DIVISION
The above illustration shows the method
of
turning the sections B, C and D on Lathe. |
TURNED in walnut,
this unusual lamp would be
excellent made in a pair....
Top section (A) and the base (E)
are turned on the face plate,
while section (B), (C) and (D)
are doweled together and turned
as one piece. After which the
dowel is removed and the parts
assembled as a unit on a 1/8 inch
pipe.
Finish and polish on the lathe;
use boiled oil followed with
walnut filler, then two coats of
thin shellac. Finish by rubbing
down with wax. This brings out
the grain.
Either a standard or indirect
light fixture can be used. The
shade should be a simple round
one of not too large a dimension. |
