Seeing as Christmas is coming up, I've been cranking out projects. Here is a pretty simple lamp for my sister:

Very nice Dave!

Interesting shape and nice finish. I'm sure she'll enjoy it

Don't make her mad. Judging from the pictures, it is a fairly small desk lamp but it has a massive look to it! Nice design.

Interesting design, I like it. Great job on the documentation as well.

Dave,
FANTASTIC!!! I looked through the pics on your site and it answered many questions I had about a lamp project I want to do. I may now even have time to make it for Christmas! You Rock!

That is a beautiful lamp. How did you get the hole through the center?

[sdmaker]

Very nice

The hole through the center was kind of a pain. I started it with the drill press, and then used a 12" brad point bit in a hand drill. That didn't go quite all the way through though, so I had to start it from the other side as well. Luckily the two holes met "close enough" to be able to get the lamp rod all the way through.

Lovely piece, consider investing in a lamp auger to drill out the center hole presuming the tail stock on the lathe is hollow.
