Wooden lamp

Try "articulated wooden lamp mica" for starters. Try "articulating" and "positionable", etc.

Do you want to make one or have one made for you, Gerry?

I'd like to try making a pair of them. Gerry

So why not design and build your own? Take your handy articulated desk lamp (I have 5 in my home/shop now) and clone it into 2 nice wooden versions. Mica is available from both Ebay (small sheets) and Asheville-Schoonmaker Mica in VA (large 18 x 36" sheets, $75 minimum, ungodly shipping fees due to size/delicacy).

When I retire I might try to do that. Right now, I don't have the time to design and build, so choose to build. It's a project that will get done one way or another. Gerry

If you don't have an hour's time to do a simple design for a lamp, you are waaaaay too overworked, dude. Condolences.

Let's just say that I'm only working half a day. Of course, half a day is

I sleep just 5-1/2 to 6 hours per night, so I have a bit more free time than most people. I'm also single and petless, which frees up an extra 8 hours a day. B U T , design work is _therapy_, boy. Just Do It!

I'm also petless, but not wifeless. That takes some time. Gerry
