I like to think of my work as a refined, industrial style. This lamp was an attempt to reach back to a more base industrial root. I picked up the four nuts and bolts legs at a hardware store several years prior to conceiving this finished lamp. I just thought they were cool and that I would eventually create the right lamp for them. Things finally fell into place and this is what I came up with.

The nuts and bolts are steal with a gun blue finish that has a matte clear, lacquer protective top coat. The metal body is a piece of 3/4" thick, rectangular, aluminum tubing. The hollow center was perfect to hold a touch dimmer. The aluminum is finished with a gun black chemical usually used on firearms. It has a wax topcoat with a light polish. The steel socket cover sits on a slightly domed and hammered, copper disc. It sits on a black Paperstone disc, that sits on a smaller, ebony stained, elm disc. The elm end caps also have an ebony stain with a wax top coat. The dimmer has three levels plus on/off. The settings are all controlled by the simple touch of a finger on any of the metal surfaces. It measures 9" wide x 6" deep x 8" tall to the top of the vintage style, medium base, bulb.
