I don't do a lot of light fixtures, but I'm doing one for my sister that
has a lampshade in the shape of a truncated pyramid- four sided, tapering
box, you've probably seen a million of them.
The plan was to use light angle iron for the corner pieces, but obviously
when you slant all four toward a "vanishing point", the 90 degree angle
becomes not a 90 relative to the adjoining sides.
Somebody on this list has dealt with this situation, I'm sure: do I heat and
flatten them slightly, or is it easier to make 110 degree angle with 2 plain
flat strips, or what? Suggestions, ideas, ridicule, all welcome. :)
Thanks,
