This is a project for slightly more experienced folks. With its simple lines, this lamp is reminiscent of early 20th-century Prairie-style design, but beneath its seemingly straightforward lines lies a slightly challenging project that demands precision in cutting angles and making exposed joints, especially for the shade.

As you’ll see, however, using jigs and special tablesaw setups will help to simplify even the trickiest steps. When you’ve done all the woodworking, you’ll probably find the wiring a breeze, even if you haven’t done much before. I hope you have fun building this!
