Vintage Shadow Box Lamp with Edison Bulb.

I have wanted to do a project with one of the  replica vintage Edison bulbs that have been available in stores for a while. These bulbs can be the focus of a project instead of just lighting.

The lamp stands 14 inches tall and 11.5 inches wide. I used a bottle lamp kit from Home Depot to mount the vintage bulb. I put all the instructions for building the project in the pattern. I also show everything needed for the project. I built the lamp from a piece of clear pine that was 8' X 5.5" X.75".
The most difficult part of this project it cutting the grill of the car. It does take some care to cut. I used a scroll reverse #3 blade. Lay out the entry holes carefully to avoid getting them too close together.

It's more of an art piece than a practical lamp but it looks nice in a dark room.
