RE: antler lamp project pics
Looks Great ! You did good. I have one of the store bought ones in my "MAN ROOM". I think I got it at sportsman's guide at a decent price a few years ago. I like the real ones better, but I need a few more sheds.

RE: antler lamp project pics
i love the lamp, that checker table top must not be original, cuz i noticed the "singer" on the "table" which im guessing is an old sewing machine? the ONLY reason i know this is because we've got one in our living room, but it doesnt have a top like that. the lamp looks really cool, im also interested how you got the antlers together.

RE: antler lamp project pics
Thanks for the kind words guys.
Michael Hunsucker, I cant help it, i have an addictionfor making things
I was making motorized go carts at 13 yrs old.
Bols, your teasing me man with ol benjamin now, ill see you next year
For those asking about how to attach the antlers, It is a walmart light kit, for $5.00, the rod is 1/2"emt conduit, there is two main attachment points with dry wall screws counter sunk into the conduit and screwed to the antler,drill a pilot hole in the antlers for the screws and use lube on the screws. the rest are attached together by drilling small holes thru one antler and half way thru the one it attaches to.use a pin and 5 minute epoxy to coat the inside of the holes, then take piece of wire same size as holes and insert it by tapping it with a hammer and cut off flush. you will have to do this in several places to make it ridgid and not wobbly!!
