Hassles with Tassels

I stopped at a lighting store at lunch and picked up a lamp part to use on the tassel. When I got home, the first thing I did was to start a mid-week load of clothes. Then I checked out the lamp part to determine the best way to attach it. I decided to cut a wood ring, attach it to the door after drilling a hole in the middle, then screwing the lamp piece to it through the sides.

First order of business, cut a 3/4 inch thick pine board down to 1/2 inch thick. Then I used the bandsaw to cut out the circle. I drilled a hole through it, put on some Elmer's Glue and held it up while Jake screwed it on. Then I held the lamp piece while he put in three screws through the holes in the sides. We put the tassel back in and, other than repainting three places on the door (which I did after dinner) it was finished. I took a photo later and posted it on the site. I think it looks much more "finished," what do you think?

For dinner, Carla made a copy of my fried onions, potatoes and sausage. But, instead of the smoked sausage I use, she used sliced bratwurst. It made it much spicier and was a nice change.

I watched some TV, but fell asleep early and Wednesday was done.
