Woodworker's Journal 1993-17-2, страница 33
Column slvle table lamps have been all the rage of laic, and our handsome version captures all the best details. There's a fluted column, classic turnings, and u sturdy base. And to make this project easier for you to make, there's a one-stop mail-order source for the hardware, shade and finial. You'll need a lathe—or access to one—in order to make this project. However, because the turnings are so basic, even if this is your first turning project, you should have little problem March/April 1993 with this piece. Our lamp is made of maple, and has a whitewashed finish, but you could use just about any wood and finish that suits your decor. With an eye toward the possibility that you may prefer a different shade and finial than we used, these two decorative items are parted out as a separate kit. The Column Parts As the Bill Of Materials details, the wooden parts of the lamp are broken down into two sections—the column and the base. The three column parts— the top (A), center (B> and bottom (C)—are all lathe-turned. Although you could use separate turning blocks for all three parts, we laid up sufficient stock to yield both the top and bottom from a single turning blank. A blank measuring 3 in. by 3 in. by 8 in. long will be adequate. Turn the top and bottom to the dimensions shown (don't forget to include the '/:> in. long by 7/s in. diameter tenon on each part) then separate the individual parts. We accomplished all the turning work with just a skew and a few gouges. Please circle No. 8 on the Reader Sen il e Card 33 |
