Russell griffiths Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 @Onoffwhats the mig welding forum mate, got a link. im a bit of a dab hand with the welder so fabricating it is not a problem. I also have a mate who makes retro 50-60s style lampshades from fibreglass so the plastic bit isn’t a problem. im going to talk to a couple of water jet cutting companies today.

Onoff Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 You can catch a cold if making to sell when such a lamp I think would have to be CE marked. For that you need to submit a Technical File and lodge with an approved body. Also has to comply with the Low Voltage Directive if mains. Pretty sure the making of such lamps was discussed on The Electrician Forum a few years back. Someone was making them from pipe fittings. @ProDave might recall?

markc Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Just been looking at the original, it is based on a traditional ceremonial drum. Opaque bit is a drum skin sewn onto a frame with painted mural. No need for laser cutting or anything like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have had an offer to hand paint it onto a thin fibreglass from a co that just make lamp shades. That one in the advert I’m sure is metal. But will re check.
