I finished my lamp using your method, I only did one thing different, after I picked it up and joined the sides, I tacked the top well and removed the wire and replaced it with 14 ga on the very inside it the top to strengthen it. I also run a piece down each side of the panels. Thank you for your guidance. I appreciate your wisdom.
Thanks it' a kind of evolutionary process in working that out & it really had to do with me getting my start in a factory that made those Funky lead came shades
Yes I saw that in your post & just for my self for a shade that size just having the wire too & bottom with good bead would have been more than😅 sufficient but if placing the 14 gauge on it makes you feel better better than ok ---- It just seems like over kill to me --- but as long as you are happy that's all that really matters
