| Ostrich Leg Floor Lamp | |
| This floor lamp was brought to me by Penny to be fixed. It features an Ostrich leg made from cast iron. One of the talons was broken off, and I reattached it by carefully brazing it. I then had to match the patinas of the piece. Penny then realized the base was going too be unstable sitting only on the four talons, so I mounted it on an old lamp base that I had to stabilize the piece. I made sure to do all of this with out damaging the integrity of the piece. The ostrich leg originally belonged to Penny's mother, and the lampshade original belonged to her Grandmother. I reconfigured the top of the ostrich leg to accommodate the shade, using only old parts. This was a very rewarding piece not only for her, but also for me. Below is the thank you letter I received from Penny | |

| Cottage on the Lake Table Lamp |
| This second cottage on the lake lamp was brought to Bob with the framing splitting and the center ring that holds the weight pushing through the frame. As you can see in this detailed picture, the center ring was resoldered and pinned in position. The splits in the frame were also resolderd. The glass was then reinstalled, and the lamp rewired to put it back in working condition. It is now with Will and his family for them to enjoy. |
