Arts & Crafts l*anternAttach this stylish redwood and copper lantern next to your front door or hang it from asimple decorative lamp post. Either way, it\ sure to garner glowing praise.s one friend pointed out,this lamp looks a lot like ahouse. I take that as a complimentsince the inspiration came&om the earh 1900s Prairie Swlearchitecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.But it's the details - the coppertop, the stained glass "windows," andthe unique hanging system - thatgive this lamp its distinctive Arts andCrafm look. Each of these deails alsoprovides a unique opportuniry towork with some different materials.Thke the copper top for example.If you've never worked with thincopper foil, you'll find that it's easyto cut with a pair of household scissors.And you wont have to do anysoldering to build this lantern.The hanging system is madefrom soft copper tubing available atany home center or hardware store.The tubing already comes coiled ina curved roll. and the end can beflattened easily with a viseor hammer. Thena hook canbe curled onit to hang thelantern. Finally, you can pick up theglass at a stained glass store or atsome hobby.shops.BUITTTYMI REDWOODI built this lantern from redwood,butanother good choice for an outdoorproject like this would be cedar.No matter what wood youchoose, one of the first steps is toplane or resaw some stock for theframes of the lantern base (Fig. 1).Toresaw the stock safely, I made a pushblock and a"zero clearance" insert(see page 72).Once the saw is set up for safecutting, you're ready to resaw thestock. (Turn the page to find thesizes ofall the pieces and the specialprocess I used to cut them.)woRKBENCH ! MARCH I APRIL 2OOO
