Idle Hands, Busy Work

Hey, I've taken up cross-stitch - well at least those cross-stitch frame things. For ages I've thought you could use those embroidery frame things to make a some kind of lamp shade, and after seeing a $150 birch light, I thought - "Hell, you could make that from $10 worth of birch veneer, embroidery frames, some steel rods and a little bit of ol' fashioned elbow grease (available in 500ml and 1L tins)." ...and by Gum, you can!
See the pictures for proof.
