Let it shine! Nice job.

Very nice lamps. Great job!
I hear you about the compound miter joints.
Anything special you did to glue the shade frame together?

These are very nice lamps. They will be the focal point of any room in which they are placed.

Thanks for the post.

Stellar job! I am about to start a Mission style end table, a floor lamp, and a desk lamp. I am now having second thoughts about the floor lamp. I really like these, how about some detail?

Outstanding…. Out curiosity, how long did they take to build?

Chris – I have no idea how long it took me to build them. I am retired and I only work for a few hours a day on my projects. Overall if took about one month, but I don’t know how many hours.

Dano – I have details and can send them to you. Let me know your e-mail address.

Terrific looking lamps, and it must have been great to be able to pool your talents with your brother’s to complete them!

Wow, these are really top notch!

I’ve considered making some table top lamps, but now that may change. this could be a good project for me to work on with my wife. I bet she’d like to do the stained glass work…

Very nice! And two of them, too.

I just completed an A&C floor lamp, and shade. Used plexiglass with glued-on fabric. Would have liked to use stained glass, but did not have a person close by to do it reasonably, and haven’t acquired that skill myself (yet).

congrats.

Ampeater, Nice lamps. I found your post while searching Google for A&C floor lamp styles. I’m also working on my own version of that A&C lamp. Curious of your dimensions. I had trouble with the dimensions from a different photo of that lamp, but I think I’m finally close. I have mine with the main body (4 sq pcs) at 1 1/8 ” sq with my base pcs at (largest to smallest) 10”, 8”, 6”, 4” (4” being the piece the main body pcs mounted to (I didn’t add the spacer as you did at the bottom).

I made a mock up out of plywood and scraps (less the total height) to try to get the right proportions before commiting my good stock (I’m making mine out of mahogany). You can view a pic of my mockup at my website: http://www.jebswebsite.com/misc_pics/floor_lamp.jpg

I’d appreciate your comments as to my measurements.

Thanks…Chugbug.

Hi Chugbug,

I think that the sizes of the base pieces will depend on the size of the rest of the lamp. My lamps were approximately 62” tall and I thought that the base needed to be 12” square. The 3 pieces are 12”, 10” and 8” square. I have plans in a PDF file that I can send to you if that would help.
