Lamp Man - second edition

Furnished content.

Lamp Man - second editionHi:Today I finished my second 'articulating man-lamp'. This version contains a number of improvements.First, I managed to articulate the shoulders, the hips and the lower spine, making the lamp much more flexible. These five joint connections were made with barrel bolts and screws, which you can see if you look closely. They are easy to adjust and hold very well.Second, I attached two cord-channels to the back of the spine, and also added a channel in the base to direct the power cord and keep it under control.Third, I included an inline switch close to the base for easier off/on function.Finally, I adjusted each joint in the man-lamp so they had more room to move. And each joint consists of right/left side, rather than the tongue-and-groove joints of the previous lamp.Made of hard maple. I installed an LED light fixture inside the cubed head. It uses a mere of 5.5 watts for the light, so no concern about over heating the lamp.This lamp took much less time than the first, and was more accurately constructed.Next on the list is a 'dog-lamp' for each of the grand-kids.Note:
I have a pattern for this lamp if anyone is interested. I can take a photo of it and send it, if you contact me directly at bjudt@me.com
