I have turned up this
rather clever thing on the lathe which will be used to equally space and divide
up a plain lampshade. It will help me to keep vertical lines equidistant. I routered out the slots and drew the lines
with coloured felt tips while the wood revolved on the lathe.
I have covered the surface with transparent
film so I can wipe it clean after painting. I then place the lampshade on the
right diameter circle and lace a long thread through the slots.
This is an old shade that I
have been experimenting on, using a variety of
paints to get the best effects.
That is a very clever gadget.
ReplyDeleteI am noting with concern the time this post was written. 3.45am??!
Thank you Jenny. I think there is something wrong with the clock - I have just posted today's missive and it says 1.45 but it is really 9.30am.
