The Kumiko lamp is finally finished. It took the longest time to wait for the arrival of the power cable, light and light socket (e14). I like it so much that I will probably make it again for myself, haha.

And some progress pics
My jig:
What the hell are those clamps? Did you make them yourself? I’ve never seen anything like them. I probably won’t buy or build them, but they do look cool!
Those are Hatagane, japanese bar clamps. I use them for such small things where regular clamps would be too bulky and too heavy.
They are beautiful in themselves, with a kind of delicacy of form. I’ve tracked down places to purchase them. They’re not as expensive as I imagined, so I’ve added them to my Xmas and birthday lists. :)
Thanks.
Incredible results, and I really love seeing the progress pictures! Thank you for sharing!
Is there any advice you would give to someone following your footsteps here?
Thanks :) I briefly mentioned this in another comment: Measure thrice and plan in some slack. I measured thrice but didn’t plan in slack. Thus the frames where the littlest too large to fit into their places (~0.5mm) When forced in, the joints of the frame jumped open a little bit.
