So this weeks work incorporated this lamp. Bit of experimentation gone into this one in terms of refining my engineering techniques given my limited equipment, illustrated in some of the pix. Some steampunk ideas coming through with this project too. 
Pictured is a car disc rotor. I welded a bit of tubing on to the edge to assist with bending tubing for the lamp stem.
The bent tube stem welded to a hexagonal 2kg grocers weight. And a kettle I hacked to make the shade.
The union between the stem tube and the shade I created using 1mm gilding metal.
Here is the lamp wired for testing. I used spirit of salts to oxidise(rust) the steel and shade.
The finished article. Found this little toggle switch in a junk shop in Bakers Arms London N17

This weeks work. A Victa Horta inspired bar barrier for @bonnevilleE5. Victa Horta created an amazing house which is now a meuseum and a beautiful example of art nouveau. An absolute joy making this and Really enjoying the light engineering work.
