Ok, long project I'm glad is over.

Hopefully get this over to the gallery and see if the guy who wanted one is still interested. If not, It'll just add to the inventory.

The last little add-ons have been installed and the post is wired.

Of course this is all about the post, but when I built the first one , I made two shades.
Still had to add the mica panels, so needed "stops" to hold the mica in place, but be removable if needed.

These stops are 1/4" square walnut, but have a corner knocked off.

The corner makes for a smoother finished look inside the shade.

They are secured by 5/8" tiny brads. I need pilot holes so I found my drilling jig.

You can see a "V" notch cut into the board with a fixed locator visible at the back.
This locator lets me position each stop for symmetric drilling. I want the pilot hole to exit at one of the stops corners.

Stop in place, drilling on the flat. #43 drill bit in a micro chuck which is chucked up into the DP's much lager chuck. Lots of chucks here!

Hole on the back side is in the right place.

Now I just use a punch and push the brads home by hand.

So that's that. I'll post the completed lamp as a project soon, hopefully with some good pictures!
