Lamp made from translucent 45 records

Step 4 Lamp base

I had originally planned on using an old record player for the lamp base. But i'm getting old and need to make my projects look a little more like an old person made them.

That and i didn't have a spare record player to gut at the time. I have had two in the past but nothing now. Besides - most record players are designed to hold a larger record so i thought the base might look a little strange.

I used some oak that i had around.

I made a top piece that was seven and a half inches square and cut four trim pieces for the perimeter.

I glues and tacked the frame together and did my best to take photos that hide my errors. I'm no carpenter. I'm also not an electrician which you will soon see...
