Greene and Greene Ceiling Lamp

Nicely done! This deserves a “WOW”
These are very sharp looking High End Ceiling Lamp’s. I like the way you vented the enclosure (no over heating here) , love the tiffany glass nice job on the pegged joints as well and the finish is perfect! This is an excellent build! Congratulations!

PS. Wellcome to Lumberjocks!

Great Greene and Greene ceiling light. I have planed to put one in my kitchen only in a larger size. I love the Sapele with a clear finish it just glows. What did you use for the finish? Did you make a template to cut the cloud
lift cutouts on the side and the ends and then use a router with a pattern bit to cut them out? I make the pillowed box joints with my band saw then drill out the waste on the inside and finish off the inside with a chisel of the same width. I get a very clean joint that way. I keep a 3/16 round over bit in an old Craftsman router table to round over the box joints and tops of the side and ends. If you are a fan of G+G like I am I’m sure that you will have some other G+G projects to show us in the future. Once again a great Greene and Greene piece.

Edward, I tried to do a search for Jeff Grainders but had no luck. Could you give me a link to a site if you have one?

Beautiful piece—great design and very nice build. Love your details from the ventilation cloud lifts to the pillowed box joints. This goes straight to My Favorites list for future reference. If I could ask, would you please share more details about your references for both the G&G design and the stain glass design. A big thanks for sharing this project!

Edward, thanks for sharing your references! This is what I absolutely love about LJ—incredible knowledge, resources and unreserved sharing. This site has expanded my learning experience and enthusiasm more in one year than the past ten years. Thanks again, John.

Edward, Thanks for the links. I’m feeling a bit Neanderthalish after looking at Jeff Grainger’s work. If only I had the time to explore some of my own designs further. Hopefully I will in the future. I agree with HillbillyShooter on the things that I have learned on this site. I only hope that I have offered some insight to others with my postings here. Looking forward to more of your work.

Those are beautiful light fixtures ! Great job : )

About finiish. Staine- Varathane Gel stain Red Mahagony, then – one layer primer ( I do it simply : mix poliurethane laсquer with white spirit) and two layers poliurethane lacquer Varathane poliurethane interior ( oil based). I am prefer lacquers on the oil based. About stain glass. In justice Greene and Greene brothers used in their llighting furniture Tiffany technics mainly.
But I liike Frank Lloyd Wright stain glass style, for example Praire style. http://franklloydwright.tercenim.com/stained_glass.htm

Wow, very nicely done. The finish looks great too.

Beautiful piece of work. I noticed the covers are hinged. How do you keep them secure? Is there a latch, a magnet, or what?

-- Just a man with his chisel.........

Everything about them is gorgeous, fantastic work!

Oh, it is story. I am a long time to found better fixture for cover of the lamp. I am tested few methods . The weight of cover is about 3 kg. As a result I used magnets wiith force of tearing about 4 kg.

Great work!
