Hey guys, thanks for all of the kind words!
I was both pleased and surprised at how well it turned out.

To those of you who loved the lamp...
It's a Hampton Bay and was at Home Depot for $299. I caught it on clearance
for $59 about a year ago. It collapses to a table lamp size too.
Great lamp but hard to find a spot to put it LOL

IF any of you were interested in tryig to build one I'd be happy to email
you close up photos.
let me know...
