Tilley Table Lamp Shade

Hi everyone.

Had a play at making a shade today, hoping to replicate similar ones i have seen on here and using dimensions from other threads.

Would be good to know what you guys think of it, and scale/proportions. This was the first go and very much a proof of concept, hoping to sort out punching the ring grooves rather than hand cutting and generally neatening up next go round.

 

Your shade looks good.
Not the same material as the original but I have seen reproductions like yours.
That is a fairly rare lamp too.

 

Hi Anthony, it's great to see the sales leaflet, and confirms I've got my large diameter the same as original at least!

I'm currently using a modern but very plain lampshade material. Easy to get hold of and has passed the "hot prick" tests from BS standards. I would like to find something more closely matching the original, it looks textured/spotty from the leaflet which i hadn't realised. Also need to find tune details with the extra holes and presumably rubber bands.

The lamp is in no way an original, it's a cobble up of parts and currently being used as a testbed for control cocks and vapourisers. The tank is an X246B, gallery and globe are afterarket and the burner currently in use is an X246B for the moment while i sort out cleaning up some more in keeping parts. I would love to pick up a nice original at some point though.

 

I’m quite impressed with your shade @Sploosh33 it looks pretty good but was surprised at your opinion of the lamp @Anthony.

 

That shade looks fine.

 

Thank you!

If there's any interest i may be able to make up some more for people once I've fine tuned it?

 

@Jean J , one of those newer lamps that were sold in a limited market.
The 120 and 120A's seem rare enough but I don't even know what this one is called. Probably a 120A.
I don't have one, I have not seen one and I don't have any paper on it.
How often do you see them ?

 

So it is a TL120A.

 

Splosh has told us it's a cobbled together lamp. TL120A have a chrome finish - and the gallery is different.

But I wonder where the column came from if not a TL120A

 

The mention of it being cobbled together was after I posted the TL120.
Posting the 120A was a follow up to me saying I wasn't sure what it was.
Now I remember why I don't post here anymore.

 

Impressive job !

I’ll second that .. Great Job II

 

Thanks guys!

 

I saw those kits, and was tempted to get one, but then I bought a TL106.

 

I'd certainly be interested in getting one.!
