Steampunk inspire lamp - pipes

Woohoo, With the design complete and the wood in fabrication, the timing was perfect for the pipe order and they have begun to arrive for the Steampunk-inspired lamp!

I don't have the box ready yet but I've set up a sample leg just to see how it will look:

Big and beefy, I like it! those are 6" straight pieces and 3/4" pipe of "black iron" - it has a good look that I think will work well against the wood box.

I like the large length of the pieces for the base, it will make the lamp more stable but it may be too big for the upper connectors. I might go with 3" or 4" offsets rather than 6." We will have to see.
