Working with a limited budget has the effect of helping me find creative solutions to design problems. The design I had in mind was not avaliable in the store. The design needed to have some contrasting materials that would be simple to build and be easy to service. A old salvaged clear fir door that had been trimmed down yielded some fine clear fir. A piece of clear quarter sawn fir that I had left over from a previous house renovation provided the solid square in the centre of ceiling plate. some 1/8th inch brazing rod and a small section of brass rod cut into a large washer type ring that the rods could attach to were all that I needed. An inexpensive globe fixture was used as the foundation of the finished fixture. The final result works well for the room, there are four fixtures with a 9watt bulb in each. My fixtures cost $15.99 each plus the enjoyable time designing and fabricating the additional elements.
