wall sconce question

Hello, I'm currently gathering ideas for a bid of building several stained glass wall sconces. Is there a source for the guts and backing of such a lamp where I could simply attach my own front panel or would it be better to purchase some from my local hardware shop and remove their panel and insert mine? I'm looking at creating something about 6" high by 13". Have any of you built this type of lamp before? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

There use to be a source for the wall sconces hardware for fused glass but I couldn't find it for you. I couldn't find anything at Lowes but I guess a small hardware store might have it or see if you have a lighting store in your area.

When I was buying for Elliott's Hardware Electrical Department, I did not encounter any source for sconce hardware from the various large suppliers of lamp and fixture parts.

I saw some advertised recently with one of the stained glass places. try Glasscrafters .com or back issues of glasscraftsmen mag. michele

Bullseye sells a sconce slumping mold with the electrical fixture available at a price I find much too high. Buying an existing fixture and replacing the glass is probably the most practical way.

You are in Indiana? B & P lamp Supply, McMinnville, TN, they have an 800 number call 800 info and get their number and order their Catalog, buy the lamp parts you need and assemble them the way Bullesye does it, or I would assume they do it.

and you know, the Thomas Register is a wonderful source for all kinds of manufacturers of all kinds of stuff. Take a look, if you don't want to research it online, try your local library.

B&P has some interesting things, but you can only buy from them wholesale. If you don't have the ability to set up a wholesale account, the prices get really interesting when you go through a retail outlet like Elliott's Hardware.

Look at her sig line. She has the ability, otherwise I would not have suggested them. and a specialist should be able to assemble them too.
