Lorraine76 Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi Everyone! I'm thinking about trying to make table lamps. So the ceramic part is easy.... But to buy, find parts to fox the shade to the lamp base, now thats not easy. I have mainly trouble finding those lengthening tubes (dont know its name). There are many beautiful ceramic lamps with these tubes that fit, but have no idea where to buy them. Is anyone making these kind of lamps? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 http://www.grandbrass.com/ Everything you could ever want for lamps. Their sockets are really well made, way better than the cheap lamp kits they sell at hardware stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M.Ernst Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I like National Artcraft. They have a wonderful supply of craft items at very reasonable prices. I've done business with them for 35 years. www.nationalartcraft.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as low as NationalArtCraft, but you get what you pay for. If you consider what you can charge for a lamp, the cost of parts is very low, even when the parts aren't cheap. This page has all the sockets. The first half of the page are their store brand sockets, which are the best quality I have ever seen. I use these on most of my lamps. The metal is considerably thicker than any other socket I've used. They're heavy and solid, well worth the price, as they will increase the value of your lamps. Plus you can get them in just about any color finish you need, not just gold or nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
