I am riveted by the lamp. I was in awe of the shade. The thing is a masterpiece. I know you will bring it back. Thank you very much for the uplifting morning. You haven’t any idea how much you cheer us.
elderly poodle Agreed! To me it feels like visiting a friend, getting to see some fascinating things, hearing interesting stories about his life, & I always learn something. I always look forward to Scot's videos😊
Hi Scott! That lamp is gorgeous! I hope we can all get out soon to the Antique and Thrift stores!Then you can find a replacement part for the lamp. Take care and God Bless 💞☕️
This video made me a little sad. Years ago I arrived at my mother-in-law's house 5 minutes too late. She was cleaning out her house and had just thrown a gorgeous pair of torchiere lamps with pink glass shades in the dumpster. She had no sentimental attachment and couldn't see why anyone would want them. The shades were broken and I almost cried. I still get a sick feeling in my stomach when I think about it. I'm glad that you are saving this one. That shade is beautiful!
Too bad about that lamp metal mess. It's a nice lamp. I have one of those old lamps too. Mine wasn't made of the same metal, nor does it have stone pieces. Those old lamps kick out a great deal of light. Love the older side of life. Happy Pandemic! Stay safe Scott and Salem.🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙🍇👾🍀💜🦚👽😇💙
Thanks for all your videos Scott. I really appreciate how you’re sharing different types of videos at the moment. It’s nice during lockdown to have things to look forward to, like your videos.
My Mom has had a lamp similar to that one, but bigger, it's always been in my family's living room and she called it a funeral lamp. Moving to new house last year the globe got broken. I'm really hoping to find another one to fit
That lamp is gorgeous. Put it together as well as you can then why not try making a mold then use regular resin to make a new part. I make jewelry and that's what I do when I need a part. Scott, you can do so much with the UV resin maybe put it together using the UV. you already have the black light. You can even use the sun to cure the UV resin. you may not even need to make a mold. The longer the UV resin sets in the sun the harder it will get. Use the powder coloring to color the resin. I would sell the bowels separately, the shipping cost would be too much to sell as a set. They're very beautiful.
The lamp was beautiful. I hope you can fix it so it will work. The ad was so funny! I especially like the fact that it would be mailed in a ‘plain brown wrapper’...
Love the lamp, I have faith that you'll find a replacement piece for it....the bowls I would keep, but if I decided to list them I would list them separately with the option to buy all 3 for the right price
Let me think this problem through very carefully, no problem....I would keep all 3 bowls, carry them out to my kitchen and put them in the cupboard for use and enjoy the heck out of them....then if I found the 4th one in a thrift store at a drop dead cheap price, I would buy it....bring it home and add it to the other 3 and then sell them! hahahaha Have a lovely day Scott, and my dear old grandpa used to do something with pot metal in his barn...seems like he added metal and then whatever it was was hot!

Beautiful lamp. I inherited my grandma’s lamp. Unfortunately my daughter knocked it over and the shade completely shattered. I have not been able to find a good replacement yet. Interesting video.
So many people make the mistake of mislabeling onyx as marble. If you didn’t own a torchiere lamp, then if you make it to the funeral parlor, there will probably be one displayed at the head and foot of the casket. Nice soft fleshy pink light bulbs included. Scott, it is much easier for the post office to break all four bowls sent at the same time in one box.
Hi Scott.. I like the lamp very much, it's so beautiful. I hope you can find another piece replace the broken spelter interconnecting base.Thanks for sharing.
I wonder if putting a tube inside the broken piece, to later accommodate the wiring etc, masking the cracks with duct tape, plugging up the bottom, and filling it with plaster or cement would prop it up? A creative paint camouflage could be applied afterward. Just thinking of the " barbells" my Dad used to make with ice cream pails full of concrete joined with rebar. Haha. Speaking as a professional welder, I have to agree that a sound metal repair is impossible.
Scott, I have faith that you'll be able to find a replacement part for that lamp and give it a chance to shine again. (Get it? ha ha!) Can you put the bowls up for sale individually but offer a discount if someone wants to buy 2 or 3 of them?
Considering this video was made a year ago, I assume you came to some sort of solution for your lamp. If not, if it is something that you would like to keep, I would consider finding a metal artist and see if they can cast you a new part or see if they have any suggestions. Just a thought.
Hi Scott. I am new to the world of antique and vintage. Can vintage glass bowls like your Hazel Atlas be used for everyday use in modern kitchens or is it more fragile? (Fra-jee-lay😂)
I feel it would be better if you sold them individually because personally I wouldn't want all of them, I have so many bowels as it is but if I needed a certain size I would get that sized bowl. Just my thoughts.
have you turned in your vampire card? a video during the day!!! P.S. is there a seller option to post all 3 items together; make note that there is one missing and it's size; offer to sell 1, to sell 2, or to sell the set of three; and list the prices for each combo and the postage cost for each combo. can you list your preference is to sell all three at once to one buyer, but that after 10 days, it will be opened to buyers who want to buy individual pieces. can you do that? is that ever done?
I'm no expert on lamp repair, but can you add a strong brass rod from the base to the next piece and just use the cracked pieces over the rod? Did that even make logical sense? My Mom's beautiful mahogany vanity had a broken back leg. My brother thought it was beyond repair. I took it and drilled through the leg and bottom of vanity, then reattached with wood glue and a dowel rod. It's not perfect, but saved the piece and it's very sturdy. I'm not even a carpenter...ha!
Yes I understand perfectly what you are suggesting. Actually, there is already a long metal rod that runs the entire length of the lamp screwing tight at the top and bottom. It's partially this tension and the weight of the outer decorative case and onyx at the top that encouraged the pot metal to fail. Even with the central rod, the pot metal still cracks and deteriorates just from age. And with the huge gaping crack and missing chunks.....I just wouldn't be satisfied with the end project. I'm confident that I'll be able to find a very suitable replacement piece for a couple of reasons. The number of torch lamp bases that have survived far outweighs the number of glass shades. As you can imaging; tip this lamp over and the shade is smashed. In this part of the country, I run into 2 or 3 of the lamp basis each time I visit a flea market and also often in thrift shops. They NEVER have their original glass shades and are usually priced between 10 and 20 dollars. So......it's just a matter of time. Congrats on saving your vanity! I remember my father teaching me to repair broken wooden legs in just that same fashion. Thanks for watching!!!!

My pleasure!
nice desk chair! 💚
Thank you for your videos. I just moved into my own little rented house. I'm way older and managed to save some of my stuff. You give me inspiration.

Hello Scott will be waiting for your restoration projects. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!
The lamp is beautiful. It will a great even with a replacement piece. Stay safe and well.

Those bowls are lovely, I'd sell them separately as replacements.

Beautiful lamp
Hi Scott, i would sell the bowls seperately and offer the other sizes also. Just in case someone wants more than one,
I love your lamp project I will keep my eyes open for interesting lamp parts. Sending Love and prayers from MIchigan for you and Salem.
Thank you so much!
So many people make the mistake of mislabeling onyx as marble.

Scott, it is much easier for the post office to break all four bowls sent at the same time in one box.
To replace the lamp part, perhaps find a wood turner to turn you a short spindle to substitute.🤷🏼♀️
Hi Scott.. I like the lamp very much, it's so beautiful. I hope you can find another piece replace the broken spelter interconnecting base.Thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait to see you swing those hips to the music!
Love the bowls
Good luck on your lamp parts hunting.
I wonder if putting a tube inside the broken piece, to later accommodate the wiring etc, masking the cracks with duct tape, plugging up the bottom, and filling it with plaster or cement would prop it up?

II have an old floor lamp with the white glass reflector bowl supposed to have a shade over the bowl but I just use it with the bowl
I love the lamp, I would sell the bowls
individually with an option of discounted shipping if you buy all 3 ❤️
I’m sure the lamp will be a beauty whenever you get done with it! I would sell the bowls individually. Shipping is a little easier that way too. 🙂
Scott, I have faith that you'll be able to find a replacement part for that lamp and give it a chance to shine again. (Get it? ha ha!) Can you put the bowls up for sale individually but offer a discount if someone wants to buy 2 or 3 of them?

Good morning Scott❤
wondering if Scott ever found the lamp part (?)
Hi Rob....I'm still working on it! I promise and update soon!
DID YOU EVER FIX,THEN SELL LAMP!? IF NOT IM INTERESTED.HOW $ ? PLZ REPLY
Hi Scott. I am new to the world of antique and vintage. Can vintage glass bowls like your Hazel Atlas be used for everyday use in modern kitchens or is it more fragile? (Fra-jee-lay😂)
They are solid, thick heavy bowls. Perfect to use today but I'd never put them in a dish washer or microwave.
The Old Curiosity Shop Thank you. Good to know 👍🏻
Could you use wood routered out to the same pattern then paint it the same color?
Good idea!
@@ddog5858 thanks 😀
I tried to fix an old floor lamp and that bottom metal part broke on me. Now I know why
Omg, I love that lamp! That is such a shame!
Gorgeous
Did we miss an update about this lamp?
No not yet.
I feel it would be better if you sold them individually because personally I wouldn't want all of them, I have so many bowels as it is but if I needed a certain size I would get that sized bowl. Just my thoughts.
SHOOT! that’s a beautiful lamp! , and beautiful clock that you showed, I know how you feel :(

Where did you find that,an antique
Shop?
At a thrift shop last summer.
👍❤️
I would be like you and sell as replacements.
The record ad finishes by stating "Sent in plain wrapper"! WHY??!!!
I know too too funny!
Alana Tolstad It’s in case people haven’t noticed that we’re fat !
I would sell them together. Why split them apart? One is missing. That doesn't mean that you can't use the others!😂😂😂
Sodering ?
Naw......doesn't work sadly.
That cracked me up about your shirt ever since you came on with the wrinkled shirt , lol you made shur you got that out of the way. Lol
😁
