Again, not quite woodworking—unless you count the refinished wood & iron pedestal—here's a project from August ’12. The Hidden Forrest Lamp is a basic one bulb lamp (15watt) surrounded by three sheets of joined 11x17 cover stock. When you dim the lights and turn the lamp on, the interior print is revealed. I used black masking tape to join the seam so that it would be attractive, even when the sun was out. The 15w was bright enough to read the smart-phone at night, or act as a nightlight, but never got hot.
Alas, this project—as many do—has moved on to project heaven. Replaced by bigger, more functional furniture. That’ll be how I’ll go, I bet.
