It seems as though every woodworking book or high school shop class has a lamp project, but how many of those go through a hands-on step-by-step process that begins with design and reinforces proper turning techniques, chucking methods, drilling on the lathe, and much more? This class will begin with a design period followed by Will reviewing items needed for a lamp such as retro glass shades, lamp hardware, switches and accessories that can be purchased from a local antique store. Discussions will include how the lamp will be constructed in a methodical way using numerous chucking methods. With a custom design and written out gameplan, students will turn all the components and apply the finish of their choice. Finally, students will assemble the lamps and add any finishing touches.
