Lighthouse Lamp Lighthouse Lamp Lighthouse Lamp Click the pictures to enlarge them

These are Lighthouse Lamps that I made for one of my daughters for Christmas a couple of years ago. I had her take a couple of pictures of them for me. I remembered that I had made them when seeing them again on a recent trip to visit them. She and her husband have quite a collection of pictures of Lighthouses that they have visited along the coast of Washington and Oregon.

These are made from a plan that I found in a plan book (which one I don’t recall, age ya know). They are constructed of pine and then painted. They have a three-way switch that allows you to have a little lamp inside the Lighthouse on by itself (as in one of the pictures) or it can be on with the main bulb or just the main bulb. It has a small storage drawer also which doubles as access to the small bulb inside the Lighthouse.

Max,

I love lighthouses, and this lamp is great. If you ever locate the plan or could replicate it from memory, could you send me one. I’d love to make one of these.

I really like the light inside the lamp.

I very much appreciate this project. I lose sight sometimes that it is okay to paint wood for a project such as this. It looks great!
