<p>Just finished my version of Stickley Desk Lamp #506. QSWO, fumed, varnished. Outstanding grain reveal. The originals have a copper shade but I'm not up for that. A rudimentary plan was published in the The Craftsman magazine.</p><p>
Was living the good retired life on the Lake. Now just living retired.

Very nice.
Do you recall which issue of The Craftsman you found it in?
The Craftsman, vol. XVII, no. 3, December 1909, pp. 338-339
The basics are there but you have to do some interpreting, measuring, guessing on your own. Plans call for 2 layers of glass but I used translucent plexiglass and mica.

Thank you. Found it. I was thinking I would make a 3D model and perhaps a dimensioned plan while it's fresh in my mind. Then maybe I'll build one, too. I like your choice on the shade.
A few details and the shade to add. https://flic.kr/p/2mv8itq Thanks for the inspirartion and information.

I like your choice on the shade. SWEET! That looks so very nice. A recommendation on the shade. . . I used lap joints on the shade then mitered frame over the mica. I would suggest a half lap miter joint for the shade along with the mitered frame if I did it again.
