Slim and elegant - Artisan Lamps that is

I found time over the weekend to finish three Artisan Lamps - one to match an earlier lamp I had made out of a solid fuel soldering iron; and two slim lamps.

The slim lamps were made from sections of two weed spray hand pumps; two round brass objects that I have no clue as to former use; vintage brass light fittings; and some of the leftover hairy oak timber.

There was a lot of drilling and cutting involved

But the magic of assembling happened. after the sanding and polishing.

And a pair of slim elegant Artisan Lamps emerged - about 600-700mm high (including globe) on a 110mm square base .

A good outcome for the weekend.
