Popular Post FrankEV Posted May 24, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) This Night Lamp is made from solid Red Oak, is 12” high overall, the base and top are 5 1/2” square made from 1/2” thick material, and the lamp body is 4 1/2” square by 10” high made from 1/4" thick material. The body side walls were stack cut and cut using Pegas #0 spiral blades. The top is loose for bulb replacement purposes. The Red Oak was enhanced and finished with multiple coats of a combination of Minwax Red Oak Stain and Minwax Satin Wipe-On Poly. The Clear blue Plexiglas was frosted by using spray adhesive to affix sheets of clear velum film to the inside surface of the Plexiglas. The Electrical components include a premade 6’ lamp cord with an inline rocker switch, a threaded nipple w/nuts, a nipple mounted candelabra bulb socket base and a round 25 watt bulb. I created the Lamp body Seahorse Pattern to supplement my collection of nautical themed projects I’m putting together. The construction of this lamp is almost identical to the Hummingbird Lamp I made for my Lady a while back, but this time it went together better because I knew what I was doing. Also, this time all the chamfers and the body corner joint bevel cuts were completed on the Router table. This pic shows the bottom of the top with a gluded on piece of 1/4 Oak Ply that acts as a retainer to keep the top in place. A similar piece of 1/4" Oak ply was glused to the base to provise a greater gluing surface for the lamp body attachnemt to the base. This view also shows the installed velum coated Plexiglas difuser.

ben2008 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Excellent. We like it a lot. We also like nautical items, Our family room is nautical themed and has many nautical themed pieces. Some I made and some I bought. In fact, I'm working a Intarsia Mermaid right now to add to our theme.

I created the Scroll saw pattern although I did steal the actual Seahorse part from a pattern I had purchased. PM me if you want the pattern.
