Really nice you can never tell it was something else once and it is beautiful. Are you going to make more out of the other globes left?

Pretty cool, Dick. I sometimes wish I had a lathe so I could do some projects like this. Is the shaft for the switch a piece of tubing or something? I can’t quite tell how you did that.

Nice adaptation – It would have been a shame not to have used that nice lamp shade.

You have made beautiful lamps out of something lying unused. Turning job is very professional and the lamps look enviable.

I like the idea of using those fixtures and globes. Great job. Wish I had thought of that.

Thank you, cabinetmaker!

If you shop around flea markets, or garage sales, you may find lamps with missing parts like this.
