[Woodworkers] Lamp

[Chuck Steger]

Karen,

   I’m breaking it up into 5 tiers. The top tier is really just a block of wood. I bought some cheap 2 x pine today. I’m going to do a quick mock-up before I tackle the final wood of walnut and cherry. Each tier will be like molding mitered together. My biggest concerns are the bottom 2 tiers because I’m not sure my TS can handle that thickness in a 45 degree miter. I think shaping a cove and oval that size will probably take lots of handwork. I don’t mind the work but my granddaughter didn’t give me the luxury of time J

 

   BTW, I sent the picture directly to Tom and Gary. I think the list is different because I never see my own posts any more.

I saw the original post and picture but didn't have anything to add at the time. Now I have a question. Are you planning to make this in four parts or as one piece like you would do for molding and then cut into mitered pieces?

Tom,

 Do you really think there's a picture of the mysterious lamp? I never got it either. I even checked my spam folder and it wasn't there either. I think Chuck is pulling s joke like Joe used to do.

Sorry for all the questions but this build has me a little perplexed. I decided on a 8x10 base. I’m building a prototype. However, calling it a prototype is really a stretch. I’m building the 2 tiers out of ¾” pine (essentially making pine rectangular boxes). My thought was I could see what scale will look like with the first 2 tiers drawing in the coves and curves.  In reality, the first 2 tiers will probably be out of 12/4 stock. This has caused to me to think ahead to the real build. If I shape each piece first and then miter, I will have 4 pieces with a giant cove and 4 pieces with a large roundish shape. How do I clamp that? I can use strap clamps but they will just slide off. I’ve read about gluing small blocks on each piece to hold the straps on and then removing the blocks later. Haven’t ever done it but may have to.

 

I’m starting to think I really need to do a real prototype. I may go to one of the big box stores and get some pine posts (for the thickness).

 

Thanks for being my sounding board!

Thanks for all the input. I think I will make a cardboard cutout to determine base size and then just go with that. I’ll do all the shaping while in pieces and then miter and glue. Probably will be a combination of band saw, spokeshave, plane (if possible), & a lot of sanding. Doubt I make the deadline though.
