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.

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.
