Goolsby7 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hey there! Hunted a bit for a proper place but couldn't find one, so I'll make a post here. This isn't my own work, but that of my grandpa. He made this piece years ago and I aspire to someday reach his level of skill and knowledge. He did everything, including the glasswork and wiring! These aren't the best of pictures truthfully but I took then after o had gotten off work. I plan to latter take some during the daytime and hopefully they come out better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Really nice. Anyone who's tried scrolling on the diamond knows how tricky it can be, and it looks like he nailed it. Good on ya, grandpa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not easy to do, let alone the leadlight ! He definitely chose something special to leave behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in Oly, WA Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 That's a beautiful lamp Gools. If I were you, I'd get on the phone and talk to your grampa about everything you can think of to ask him about blacksmithing. You could learn a lot, and I think he'd love to share his knowledge and experience with someone who's genuinely interested in learning, especially his own grandson.

JME1149 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 That is a beautiful piece of work. Thanks for including the close-up photos of some of the details. It looks like he may have used angle iron for the individual scroll parts where they meet up with the main frame and with the S-hook scrolls. Definitely one for the inspiration folder.
