    Mega cool lamp shade, very mid-century, and not a common shape. Great job, but a word of cation: I had a solid brass lamp took it apart, got it shined up beautifully. There were so many little parts to it, then drove myself crazy threading it back together again. So advice, record exactly how you took it apart, or at the very least, draw yourself a diagram. Save yourself the grief. Great filming and editing Barry.

    Nicely done, the shade fits the lamp very well. Sometimes when doing those period lamps, the challenge can be to find a lampshade that looks good on the base. Especially in the 40's through the early 60's, some of the materials used for shades were adventurous, from fiberglass to sisal to one I found that had been scraped cow hide originally. Replacing to achieve the correct "look" can take patience. Your lamp has a nice timelessness to it, and clean design. Thank you for sharing.

    Fantastic 1950s lamp. So glad you didn't paint the wood. The burlap shade is perfect. The background music is perfect; the emphasis stayed on the project without making me think about lyrics. About the time I wondered about narration, the captions kicked in. This was a shorter project and so the captions worked perfectly. On a longer project, captions-only might compete for attention with watching the details of your work. Excellent choice. I'm still amazed at your organization of supplies in the large cabinet. Being attuned to that level of detail sets your channel apart from many other TH-camrs. Thanks for another enjoyable peek inside your workshop!

    My three living room lamps are mid century ceramic. The first one I bought came from an old ladies house, her kids were clearing it out and I paid ten euros. I was quite heavy, they had no idea what it was, didn't care and it was super dirty. It has three crushed glass inserts that show that it also had a bulb inside the base. I love that lamp. The second one is another heavy one, paid 8 euros at a charity shop and the third one has daisies painted on it, quite sixties, paid ten euros. I also have two mid century wall lights that I have on the wall for show, they are ironwork and signed and one offs. The other day I found an incredible ironwork standard lamp signed, in the style of Jacques Adnet, I paid three euros !!!!! Really simple design, well balanced and so well made. It made my day anyway!

    I liked the polished silver color of the metal best. I have a MCM floor lamp form my late MIL that I will be refurbishing soon, so this video is very helpful.

    The sounds were so relaxing I caught birds and wolves but then zoned out on the transformation of it all which was fantastic. Love your thrifted version of the dremel rig it really shows people where there’s a will there’s a way. Great job Barry!

    Well Barry that was a different format! Missed you walking through the process giving out details. However I do believe I heard sheep, crickets, a dog and a cow... I have run across a couple of stiffel lamps at yard sales and thrift stores always good for resale. Barry you do such a great an excellent detailed job, always going the extra step. Always look forward to your videos!🐑🐶🐮🐦❤ thanks again so much for sharing!

    • @MadCityModern
      @MadCityModern  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you Neil. I tried not to add too many details, because truthfully, I'm not an expert when it comes to these lamps. I was hoping others would share stories because I love to learn. Thank you for sharing. The values aren't much of a priority for me since I have found much better mid century examples cheap. I know if i find really nice items, i won't destroy them by trying to refinish. I always appreciate your support. Barry

    Barry, it is always a pleasure to watch you work. Not sure why but it is a lot more fun to watch you do some of that detail work than it it is to actually do it myself. Haha The lamp turned out amazing! No narration was nice as something different and I also love your videos that you narrate. Great job with keeping it fresh. - Sherry

    Wow Man!!! Always breathing new life into your projects Bud!! This came out fantastic. Without scrolling through the comments to see I think I head a Wolf howl & some Sheep. Along with the birds of course. But, I was more focused on how awesome the lamp was coming along. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

    Nicely done. One tip that you probably figured out after you were done, I have found that it is easier to reassemble all of the parts that are on the vertical threaded pipe (from the base cup of the socket down through the bottom nut under the weight) before you then thread the wire through in one smooth go. Then one thread out the side and seal up the base. I saw you threading each piece on and have fond (not) memories of getting 2/3 the way through a floor lamp with articulations and lots and lots of parts threaded one by one on to the wire and thinking that I had threaded waaayy too many things! Great work; always enjoy it.

    You make it look so easy. You encouraged me to try it myself. I went to goodwill and bought two old lamps. They’re totally retired now and look new. Thanks for the gold paint and clear coat idea. I used that with excellent results. Choosing the correct harp and shade are a challenge. I’m watching all of your videos now. Cheers from Palm Springs.

    Beautiful lamp! I know your thing is brass, and believe me, I
    understand. I collected brass for years. Alas, I'm old and no longer want to keep it up.
    The thing is, when you polished that and discovered that it wasn't real brass, it looked really good as the bare metal. I was surprised. I do understand, though, that you wanted it to fit your asthetic. I have a lamp shade nearly identical to that one. Great job and for little money. You can't beat that! 🙂👍

    • @MadCityModern
      @MadCityModern  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is great feedback. I also didn't mind seeing the metal the way it was. You're right, I decided to paint it to fit the other living area decor
