Hand Spun Copper Pendant Light
You see, I have a copper problem. I try and incorporate it into every project. But this project revolves around the warm, sophisticated look I love. Each 9 1/4 inch shade and canopy is hand spun in my shop by me . Then cleaned and polished. Next they are carefully wired and tested. A matte nickel socket is shown, but copper is also available. I provide 4 feet of vintage style cotton covered cloth wire, all hanging hardware, vintage style Edison bulb and wire nuts. So it's ready to hang. The Howle (Largest photo) has a delicate upturn at the bottom and looks best with a straight Edison bulb. The Henry (Second photo and also on the lathe) is a standard curve and looks best with a round Edison bulb. I would be honored to make one for you and your family. I said one, but I'd be REALLY honored to put 4 or more of these babies in your house. Thanks for your consideration. Questions are always welcome.

Hi.
I'm Karl. I make things. Big things. Small things. Things out of wood. Things out of metal. Things out of wood and metal. Things out of molten copper. Things that appear in video and commercials. Things that my children will give to their children. And their children will sell at a garage sale 'cause that's what ungrateful great grandchildren do.
I have a workshop in historic Taylors Mill, South Carolina. That's where the name comes from. The Mill. My wife calls it Milly, my mistress. It's a fair criticism. I spend a lot of time there. Making things. And I've been doing it for over 35 years. Furniture. Cabinets. Reproductions. Restorations. Industrial. Mid Century Modern. Craftsman. Shaker. Traditional. I've lost track.
But one thing I know, styles change. Exceptional craftsmanship does not.
I love a challenge. I love hand made. I Love to design and go through the process of creating. But fair warning, I won't make anything you could expect to find at Pottery Barn or Renovation Hardware.
Not even for Milly. If she were real.
So send me a picture, a sketch, a thought, a gleam, a "kinda, sorta maybe it looks like this" and we can start.
I'm Karl. I make things. People love them. And you will too.
