Per,

Did you have a hand in the glasswork - design or patterns?

Could we hear more about the glass?

Marc, not at all, this is new copys of old stuff, pretty cheap (around 80-100 usd each) and good looking

There is many sites who sell this oil lamps and spareparts for them, here is one, www.fotogenlampor.com

Check out all diffrent types, inspiration for me at least with all old designs

Cheers Per

Per, your work is excellent - as usual. I have a question though. I have done some embossing using my bead roller, similar to your back plate, but I have trouble getting nice sharp square corners. How do you do this?

Per
how did you keep the distortion out of the shade with all the bead rolling ?
whenever i make a flat panel with steps it will not lay flat.
do you wheel the panel first?
thanks

Hi Steve!
There are some things that really will help you here.
First thing is that is a huge diffrent what kind of size you have at your wheels, smaller diam less trouble ( in this kind of tasks)

Next one is to " kill " the enemys you have put in to the sheet with your action.
To do that you use a corking/ caulking chisel to " tune up " the corners, I back up my sheet with some that " gives " some like a piece of hardwood or a cuttingboard of plastic.

This " killing " action is VERY important if you do beads ( strectch ) to get the sheet back to a friendly mood! To leave a bead without coin the ends will not look good and the sheet will go crazy....

Hope you understand? Hard to explain this way but maybe I will meet you again in the future, if so we can do a live show

Cheers

Hi Craig! Thanks for your question!

Most of the answer will you find in the post above but another important thing
Is to test some pieces and see how big trouble appears with diffrent deeps of the step or bead, it is a HUGE diffrent with just slight changes in the setup.
Sometimes you do not need to duplicate a existing panel and when thats the case it can be very vise to back off just a little of the deep and the panel will be much more happy!

If you need to create a patchpanel or something that need to match a existing shape you really need to kill the beeds to get it back to flat.

I have show this many times at meets around the world and almost everyone I have showed this for is surprised how big diffrence it makes

Hope you got it?!

Cheers

Excellent post Per! I like the old school techniques especially because I don't have much equipment. I like how you don't use the computer for concept design, I think it's just like basic shaping, if you can't do it the old way you won't be good at using technology an machines to get the end result. Thanks for showing the process in a way we can all get our minds around it!

I'm still waiting for a rivet video from the Crazy Swede! In your spare time of course
