    After doing a bit of math I settled on a pattern and, using the Tpac Tools DRO, I got busy.

    It doesn't look that good initially but, the more I did, the better it got.

    It's far from perfect but it does add a bit of character.

    The plan now is to build the lamp portion out of copper tube and fittings.

    The important part is, the BOSS liked it. So I am happy. That's where I'm at right now. I have ordered some "antiqued" bronze hardware, harp and light socket, and a cloth cord with an antique plug so I am waiting on those to come in to get this wrapped up.
    Thanks for looking!
