Making Art Deco Lampshades (out reclaimed oak)

For years now, we had 2 Art-Deco lampstands (Amsterdamse school). We tried different shades on them, but never found the appropriate ones. Mirjam designed and made the glass sheets, I made the lampshades out of reclaimed oak and used the "burning trick" to fake the ebony. To keep the possibility of using these shades otherwise, they are designed to be free standing as table lamps too. After well over a 100 years, these stand finally found their matching shades.

Not Just Sawdust, Não Só Serradura, because it isn't just that. It's the evidence reflecting the relentless urge to create, the proverbial blood of that beautiful material nature provides us with. It's the sharp teeth that cut, the subdued mind that finds out what a piece of wood harbors in itself.

I feel like a 100 years when I see the same kind of lamp I made in my 5th grade art and woodworking class. Well, I am closing in on that age, but still like to see someone makes a little masterpiece in that bygone *style moderne.* Kudos Gerrit

This was such an excellent vid from start to end. Your remarks about glass cutting are a real education; you make it look so easy! Above all, the choice of music for Mirjam's work - that's Mirjam's Theme from now on! Brilliant vid guys and a wonderful result - definitely one of your best. Thanks to you both.
