i want to make another and sell the set. maybe even more after this house gets finished!
if you saw the inside of the 'shade', you see it's a bit more complicated than it looks.....
i was wondering what you guys would think if i did the same white-off/green-on effect when i replace the cloth on the floor lamp with plexi?
too green? leave the light white? whatcha think?

here's the coffee table i made for the living room. the center holds family photos and odds and ends from the grandkids on and off. i was cleaning and realised i hadn't posted this project yet. the tempered glass was free, and i have 3 or 4 spares stored too.... just in case....

i was concerned with the shelf sagging over time, so under the shelf is a 4' piece of angle iron glued and screwed. still straight as an arrow...

That's sharp! Nice work. Do pictures go under the glass in the center? Good idea keeping the spare glass around  .

tnkx guys... this is how i spent yesterday. this is an old oak table from my childhood my father gave me. it has particle board as a base under 1/4" blocks of oak, with solid edges. the underside rails were mounted to the particle board and had obviously been broken 3 times judging from the relocated holes and craters. i took a split 2x4 and PL'd it and screwed it over all the holes. then i removed all the corners which were loose and PL'd them too and reset the screws. then i used the clutch on the drill and tightened all the triangular braces all around. MUCH stronger now!!! (lots of cheerios and banana pancakes consumed at this table...lol)
