Vector01 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi All: Well...Taking the suggestion about making a lamp from the goldfish piece, here it is. Since I didn't have a plan for it it was an on the go construction. I thought that I would continue the goldfish theme for the sides. I picked up a sheet of red acrylic and used that for the inside. Added a low wattage bulb and candelabra fixture and hoped for the best. Pulled out the palm sander cleaned it up and then added a couple of coats of paste wax for protection. The picture is not the greatest. Photography is not one of my strongpoints. [attachment=0]lmp5web.JPG[/attachment] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blame Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 nice job vector i wonder how it would look with either mitered corner or solid corner posts either a different species or the same. guess there would be some options for some verity anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wow, that turned out awesome! Good job! Make sure you throw that in your User's Gallery. That really deserves to be showcased. I don't mind the butt joints at all. Miter cuts along the edge of a board might be a bit tricky (at least I've never had good luck with them). Finger joints would look good too. Plus you could cut that with a scroll saw. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vector01 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 This one was on the fly I just received my wood from Sloane's the other day so I'll have more variety for my next project. I also picked up a plunge router for my dremel tool. I can already see some panel inserts and routed bases for future projects. I really need to stop reading these posts...They're great ideas but It's costing me a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
