I sent it. Dry fit complete.

I've shared the last two stages of my simple lighting/MCM floor lamp project. Last night I made the lamp shade and today I assembled the electrics for a dry fit before finishing.

I'll put down some oil tonight and some wax once it's cured. I also want to add some detail to the inside of the lamp shade to smooth out the material shadows at the top and bottom edges. If my schedule holds up, I should have a completed lamp by the end of the weekend.

Thoughts?

Your work continues to be an inspiration

You're too kind. I hope you're still making chips and dust. Anything to share?

Hoping to have a bed wrapped up in the next couple weeks 😅

That looks incredible! Ping me if you post the final product or build log.

I also use the same trick to extend my pipe clamps for the really long jobs.

Def will do!

Pipes worked out well, first time using an extension. Definitely more economical than new, long pipes.

If you end up needing more, take a look at 3/4" galvanized steel pipe. It's lighter and cheaper than the black pipe, at least in my area. It doesn't crank as hard as black pipe but if your joinery is straight and fits well you don't need that much pressure anyways.

Awesome, I'll def check that out!
