Finished the clock from April

I finished the Octagon clock I started in April after a few practice
projects and a class. I see some things that are obvious improvements
now, but in general I like the result.

I don't know for sure, but my wife wants me to make another of these
clocks. This one was to be a house warming gift for my son in
California.

Although I guess I will be making another clock, I would like some
ideas that maybe I have not thought of. The original reason for
getting into stained glass again was to create some interesting
additions to my woodworking hobby. I am into Craftsman furniture
(although I am not opposed to trying some other style). Any ideas for
other projects that combine wood and stained glass?

Of course, a lamp is another idea. I have not considered that yet, but
that is sure a possibility. I have seen styrofoam forms that are used
to shape the lampshades. Have any of you made your own forms? How?

Your time and effort would probably be better spent using a commercially
available form. They are relatively cheap. The time spent reinventing
this wheel could be profitably spent working on glass skills.

I must confess that I don't really have the patience for complex
'tiffany-style' lampshades - not sure that I could find a market for
them, bearing in mind the time/cost involved.

If you are handy with woodworking - how about a 'lantern' - use wood
for the framework and then make up four flat stained-glass panels for
the four sides of the panel - might look quite nice...

You could 'borrow' a classical design - or start from scratch.
Glass 'nuggets' work well (=grapes etc ?)
Even include some nice agate slabs, polished gemstones - or maybe
seashells. You can build in anything that you can wrap foil around....

Have fun !
Adrian
