For those interested parties, here’s a shot of the lamp after the final coat of finish was on. I will have more photos and a project post in the next day or so.
What else have I been up to besides general shop maintenance and cleanup?

Cypress blocks.

I said I would not buy anymore #4 planes. How can you pass up a $1 deal though?

I also said a shelf was all I would ever need for my puny little plane collection. It started taking up more shelf space than originally anticipated though.
Also, I’ve been to a family reunion this past weekend I may talk about.

I will eventually post on all this and more. I’m sorry, since a recent doctor’s visit, I haven’t actually been in a very talkative mood. I’ll recover, accept, and overcome. Till then, I thought ya’ll might like an update.

Before I go though, I think some of you may like to see the top of the lamp body with light shining down on it. I found it one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a little biased though.
