Really for married guys. Here's a way to have your "Little nest of vipers" actually want you in your shop. I threw this table lamp together in about a week of spare time and about $40 worth of fittings from Grand Brass. Built to match some modern end table SHE bought. And I can tell you this stuff pays off in spades. I'm currently working on a new clock design, but also some art deco sconces because I like the way they make me FEEL

Looks great Bet that would cost £300-£400 in the shops, have you used up the browny points yet?

That is beautiful...my wife would love that! She might even appreciate my machining hobby more if I made that.

My wife looked at it and said at least you make somthing useful

The trick is to make her something that SHE NEEDS. Then there is the jewelry fixing that is allways a big hit. Hardly any time invested with a BIG payout. I learned this a long time ago which is why I'm still married after 35 years.

I know the feeling, it will be 30 yrs for us in Sept. We like to read and I have a lot of shop books metal and woodworking/toybuilding (hey with 6 kids a fellow can't afford to buy them toys ). So I had to build "us" a bookshelf. This is 4 ft x 8 ft tall and screwed to the wall so it won't fall over. 7 shelves adjustable and some stacked 2 books deep. :
Kudos on your great lamp !!
