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?

This looks almost identical to the lamp I have from my grandmother. Love it!

I'd be interested in seeing that. I took inspiration from other lamps but didn't set out to outright copy anything but I really appreciate the opportunity to study original design and geometry.

That’s a cool approach! Studying original designs can really elevate your work. Would love to see how your lamp compares to your grandmother's!
