trailfndr Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Had the grandkids over for Christmas this year, and while they played in my basement rec. room/man-cave, one of them knocked over a table lamp and broke it to the point it could not be fixed. I decided that I needed a replacement, and how better to make it fit in that by making it myself. Took Steve Goods 10" soaring eagle pattern, and enlarged it to an 18" wingspan, mounted it on a base, with a post behind it and made this lamp.
