Mini Walnut Lamp

[Chems]

About 2 Christmases ago I copied Lord Nibbos brilliant design for a ABW lamp. Got my second one finished off today. I hand preped all material, a first for me as this is my first hardwood project without a P/T. I'd rather do it with a P/T thats for sure!

I had some real problems with the gorilla glue so I was annoyed and not taking photos so excuse the missing link of photos. I got the shade and lamp from Homebase on their half price weekend all for £7.

Yes indeedy...

I like the view of the cabinet too.
Walnut and pine is not a combo I would have thought of, but it works!

Nice one Chems.

Thanks

Didn't know if pine and walnut would go but its all I had in stock! Worked really well, especially unfinished I like it a lot. Theres a lot of making in these little lamps suprisingly.

I like the nice clean lines. Kinda like the inlays in the corner of the bedside table as well. Nicely done....both projects.

That's come out well. Still looks too small to be a workbench, though! :wink:

To right Olly, seems everything else comes first! Next project is a fancy new outfeed table which will be for me. Then the bench.

Superb! I missed this thread.

That 5 1/2 can really cut the mustard (or ABW) :wink:

Do the corners of the blade still protrude out before the middle? Is it an issue?

I have check my 4 1/2 and it does the same. I noticed the back of the blade needs some work so I'll set to that this evening.

Great lamp.

I haven't sorted out the chip breaker yet. Waiting on BSM to see if he has one in that collection of parts he bought before I fork out for a new one. The 5 1/2 does the job ok but the No4 was the real work horse of the job. And as the parts are smaller I didn't need the extra length of the 5 1/2 once I'd got it roughly smoothed and cut to size.

I think the big diffrence in the top brands must be edge holding, mine go blunt and chipped very quick I've noticed.
