We’ll even guide you through installing a simple lamp kit, giving you both the skills and confidence to bring light to the season ahead. Walk away with a one-of-a-kind lamp and the satisfaction of saying, “I made this.” What You’ll Learn: How to use the table saw to cut your wood to size. How to use the miter saw. What a "rabbet" in woodworking means and how to create them. How to insert multi-wood blocks for added interest. How to use a laser to cut acrylic "lamp-shade" panels that fit perfectly (AND could be interchangeable depending on your mood!). How to sand, smooth, and finish your project for everyday use.
