Dome and Minaret Lamp (Try 2)

I have reduced the number of piece for a single lamp to less than half, compared with the previous attempt.
Today was "Router" day, which I've used to make grooves in the corners, that could hold the panel together.
I have managed to scroll the four panels out in one go, using adhesive tape.

With the previous pattern, heat from the light bulb caused the tip of the minaret to bend out.
I thought I'd use some glue, but finally remedied to this, by leaving a junction between the minaret and the top arch of the panel.
No need to glue, the minaret is nice and straight.
This however, gave me a second whole in the pattern (speaking of removing/mounting the scroll saw blade, of course), but I had to choose the lesser of two.
I have changed the glass colour too, for a warmer ambiance.

Dome and Minaret Lamp

This project needed quiet an easy scrolling work.
As you can see the pattern is very simple.

Tough many were happy with the general idea and result, it is obvious -after having been through all the making process of this lamp - that many things could have been done in a more "Elegant" way.

Improvisation doesn't always give the expected results but improves self-confidence.
I believe that the next attempt will be "The best I could ever make" (at that moment ;•) ).

Closer to See the Light

This is my first Lamp Project.
As you can see the panels and the bottom are now making a single piece.
Getting there... getting there...
Looking forward to it.

A Lamp Panel

This is one of four panels of a Lamp I am working on. the project is taking time, but I recently came across this gem of advice from http://www.scrollsawer.com/scroll-saw-tips.php Tip List :
[Completing a project will always take longer than you think. Relax and have fun; it’s the surest way to decrease cutting errors. And if you do make a mistake or two, don’t point it out to anyone! You’re the only one who knows how the pattern was supposed to look.]
Anyway ... I've found the pattern in the so valuable Fretworks site : http://www.fretworks.com.au/catalogues.htm

Wish me luck.
