My light fixture has also been starting to take shape.  The images shown are:  

Templates used for making the shade and cap portion

Plywood mockup of shade with cap

Actual shade with veneer and plexi showing the connection method (steel rod and small o-rings)

Veneer as it looks with light shining from behind

(Soon to be) wall mounted plywood box (same veneer as shades) that the lights will be suspended from

In addition to these things, I have also completed fabricating the steel tube pieces that will be fixed to the wall mounted box, though have yet to photograph them.  I will post images as soon as this happens.
