| Details for Chinese-style abacus lamp Plans
 Free Chinese-style abacus lamp plans - The point of this project was to design a low-light lamp that would provide interesting shadows through the use of two abaci (the plural of abacus?). However, these particular abacuses have sentimental value to my aunt and, while she certainly wanted to do something with them, she did not want them to be damaged. The result was this Chinese-influenced lamp, which allows the abaci to be freely removed. While you may not have any abaci yourself, the lamp is still easy to complete by either buying the abacus (often available in your local Chinatown) or by making your own (see the end of the project for more details). The wood used in this project was standard pine, stained to give a heavy Chinese feel (and to match the color of the abaci).
