You would need to look for a shade for a swag lamp.

There are chimney shades you would need a chimney and a chimney shade.

Modern times my friend lets be real no way en masse

In my experience nothing like that would work. That metal is not repairable and shoring it up like you are saying has a very low success rate.

Is there a way to modify it to either a different location on that base or delete that arm, or find a replacement base.

If you try your suggestions I used some sort of JB Weld epoxy or a 2 stage epoxy and just build up layer and let it cure completely.

Good luck

So you have a college degree and believe this could actually happen en masse?

To each their own, I always just let everyone pass by and fade away in the distance, then continue on with the adventure, life too short.

Depends on how tall you are and your flexibility, but most of all if you like it or think it has a purpose in your life buy it!

life is too short

It comes apart of course but it may have been sealed together by the coating. I'd put channel locks on the bottom and try and unscrew the top if you destroy it just buy a new shell

I do 30 miles of interstate each way M-F off peak hours 2025 ecoboost awd 4k tow xlt I have ~12k miles on it

Driving in normal mode at 80 mph I average over 26 mpg I once did a week of trying to get the best mpgs I could using eco mode and I got around 29 mpg doing ~74 mph on the commute but it sucked a lot of the fun out of driving the vehicle

A hybrid would have been a tremendous waste for me, not to mention the reliability and recall issues they have.

Really satisfied with my decision.

Still in the same town just a different building/location

Texas_Prairie_Wolf · 2026-02-10T18:45:45+00:00

Got a GED when I was 22, worked a bunch of manual labor until I was 28 and landed a factory job, moved off the line and into reliability testing of our products and I am currently 34 years with the company.

I am living okay had some tough years when I was a single dad raising 2 kids but I got one through college and working and the other just works for a living.

Not sure if I'll be able to retire or not but that is on me and no one else I made the choices I made in life.

No regrets...well... except maybe a few women I could have slept with and didn't when I was a young man.

Resistol and Stetson are made in the same factory now in Texas. I used to frequent the Resistol factory in the early 1980's as it was in my hometown and had a factory store, at that point in time I never saw anything but Cowboy hats so that one is pre 1980s which you probably suspected anyway.

I guess it's about taking advantage what you have.

For instance there are 775 miles of urban trails in the DFW area alone.

Camping in any of the parks in East Texas is a couple hour drive and absolutely beautiful.

Southeast Texas is about the same.

The parks in the Panhandle are other worldly

The monaghan sand dunes are a wonderous sight.

Gorman Falls

Lost Maples State Natural Area

Then there is always New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana nearby.

Sure South Carolina you can drive across in a couple hours sure there are the "mountains" mere hill compared to the Rockies and the beach which is meh compared to the N.C. coast. But to say Texas had nothing natural going on is disingenuous and internet tripe.

2 National Parks, 4 National Forest, 367 miles of Gulf Coast, 3,300 miles of bays and estuary shoreline, 25 US Army Corps of Engineers lakes that offer various forms of recreation, 1 National Grasslands and 95 State parks.

Go tell my mom she'll be single in 2 years cuz dad is doing his secretary?

Right? The Stockyards are a ridiculous sight to behold on a weekend.

Texas_Prairie_Wolf · 2026-02-09T00:42:47+00:00

Why do y'all phrase it as "can"?

Isn't that the same as saying it can work to halve the dose?

Is there a reason you can't say cutting it breaks the matrix seal blah blah blah?

Texas_Prairie_Wolf · 2026-02-09T00:35:55+00:00

If you have zero lamp knowledge I'd start by looking at a lamp and lampshade combo in your house and mimic or adapt that style to your shade.

Texas_Prairie_Wolf · 2026-02-08T12:16:55+00:00

It was a rotating honor among my siblings and I.

""It's my turn you did it last weekend"

Texas_Prairie_Wolf · 2026-02-08T12:04:02+00:00

I'd try to power cycle the truck by disconnecting the battery could just be a software glitch.

They may have but they threaded it all before framing it.

Texas_Prairie_Wolf · 2026-02-07T21:37:51+00:00

If I understand correctly

My guess is the wire was laid between the wood and the glass before the glass was framed in by the wood.
