Makes me wonder if it would not be possible to use a laser to cut multiple cylinders out of that piece, and then make a collection of shades of different diameters. Also was the piece of wood green or dried ? |

You can also buy lamp shades at Wal Mart. Some day I may have a lathe and I'd like to make something like that As for expensive, the wood may have been free. I've had and burned many logs like that. The only cost is a penny or two for the electricity turning the lathe. |

The best lampshades are made by stretching foreskins over a used popsicle stick frame. They give the bulb a nice soft glow too. |

Stupid, stupid, stupid (the endeavor, not you). The cost of the lathe would be a secondary issue. The cost of electricity is beside the point. |

You actually EAT the fish you catch? You actually CATCH fish when you go "fishing?" I thought the purpose of a fishing trip was to drink beer! Shows what I know. |
