I will probably never build this lamp but since I have an interest in Arts and
Craft furniture
I intend to save this picture.
Needless to say I am duly impressed’
I assume the height and depth would be determined by your own measurements
Or how about a table lamp?

Subject: [OldTools] Another project question
Friends:
To go into a cabin where I have already build a British A&C-style bookcase and
will over the next three or four years, be making a settle, Morris chair and
wardrobe to match, I also need a floor lamp. My concept is for oak with a taper
top to bottom. It would be made of four pieces of q-sawn stock in the old way
so that each side shows medial ray fleck. Being long edges, it can be clamped
and glued, thus limiting tricky joinery.
The challenge is the compound angle. I'll be joining four faces that are
tapering. The closest I have come to this is in coopering, but with that I felt
my way into the angles with a paper pattern and a sliding T-bevel, and it was a
single angle throughout, with no taper. Here, I don't know where to start.
Looked on-line and there is a page with a calculator for pyramids etc., but it
is for a table saw which I don't use, and gives angles I don't quite follow.
You would think that the angle of the bade to the table would be the one I need
to plane my angles, but I can't quite see how to get that number from that
calculator.
Any advice?
