MRobb Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Beth - Yes, I did cut the hole from the original strap. All one piece. Thank you very much. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nice job on the fish tail scroll and I like the lining along the edge of the strap, that really sets it off nicely. You done good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If you will be using it for an oil lamp you might make a copper or brass "reflector" that could be mounted with the screw to fasten the sconce to the wall. Very nice execution, good lines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Bentiron - thank you very much! Thomas - This one will be used with the glass as shown with a candle. I hadn't thought of using an oil lamp. Interesting idea. Thanks. I've been pondering making an oil lamp. Gives me ideas for my next one.......... hmmmmm.......

Grundsau Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That looks great! Where did you find the glass? I've been looking for something like that for a patio stake. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Allen - Thank you! I found this piece at a garage sale in my neighborhood. Unfortunately they only had one like this. My wife was hoping for a matching pair. I am always on the look out for odd shaped or antique glass to use for items like this.

Sask Mark Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That's awesome Mitch. Very clean lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundsau Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Mitch, go figure... :D Whenever I try to describe that type of glass shape I usually get a blank stare. May I use one of your photos with most of the ironwork cropped out except the glass to illustrate what I'm looking for? Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Nice lamp! I recon you would be able to sell quite a few! We are fortunate to have some glassblowers that make our glass for our hurricane lanterns etc. What did that glass set you back?

Grundsau Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Think I found what I've been looking for: http://www.detailspartyrental.com/Table%20Decor/Candles.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sask Mark - Thank you! Allen - Feel free to use what you need. No need to crop anything. Ian - I think it was 25 cents. :D Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
