Kris if there is anyway I can swing it once we move back to the states this August I am going to place an order with you for at least one frame. I turn 44 in August and it’s all I want for my next 5 birthdays.
I remain a fan very much rooting for you.

Kris, thanks for this thread. I have just finished a complete reread as I sit on the couch for my second week in a row with my left leg elevated from a pretty rough bike wreck. Going too fast on a gravel road has led to a pretty bad road rash and loss of one Bursa sack.
I love this thread and...
Hey Thomas,
I just saw the pictures of your wood shop. Like the vintage equipment. However, I am partial to the SawStop though as that was my work home for 8 years. I now work for their new parent company near Stuttgart Germany. Thanks so much for keeping us posted. Cheers, Jeremy.
So much, glad to have you with us again. I love your work so much. I wish I could take classes from you. Alas the commute from my new home in Germany might make that a bit hard though.
Congratulations to all. I have been following along for the whole build and am excited to see the finished product. I am also excited to see some of the more detailed posts I am sure Tomas will provide when he has time to catch up.
Drives: thanks for checking in. That bin is a beast and will fit right in next to your selves. Congratulations on your daughters wedding. I am sure she is going to love the chair you are working on.
As for my lamps I think you are right I seem to have found myself a nice little niche making...
Thanks xtremek. Speaking of Christmas I was able to get one totally new lamp done and delivered as a present for my nephew. I have no idea if he likes it or not but a few other do.
Hope you all had a great holiday season and enjoyed your families.
Drives and 1/2 cup. Thanks for checking in. It is always great to hear from you guys. I hope you are yours all have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year.
Thanks for the kind words. I honestly can't point you to anything special on the socket front I use standard candelabra bases for these lamps I just custom modify the fittings to accept them. In this lamp I use one of these fittings for the head, and one of these inside the thunderbolt shaft...
I just finished up another one for a friend at work. I think she said it was going to be a gift for a cousin that just had a baby boy. So it has two flickering thunderbolt night lights.
Rmalkow2: thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I have been really enjoying making the lamps and hope to continue for some time to come. As for colors I am happy to paint them however the buyer chooses. The one for my in-Laws is actually a chocolate brown color.
The one I just hung in...
Overkill: thanks for the kind words. As for your question. I drill a hole in the glass insulators and just put a piece of lamp pipe through that attaches to the light socket on one end and a custom adapter on the other. It just so happens that lamp pipe 1/8 IPS and 1/4 IPS dates back to the days...
Drives thanks for checking in. I have been delinquent posting recently and I am sorry for that.
To answer your question no I haven't finished the big red vise yet. Actually my whole welding table is still a work in progress. I have all the pieces and parts together it just lacks a little final...
