Abstract:
A lamp shade soldering aid is used when soldering a stained glass lamp shade. The soldering aid includes a spindle, inserted through an arm, a base, a turn table, and a clamping member. A lamp shade to be soldered is inserted on the spindle and rests on the turntable, held by the clamping member. The turntable has a plurality of pivoting support members for use with the lamp shade when soldering the interior of the shade. The clamping member does not spin off of the spindle. When the lamp shade is turned, the turntable is also turned. The soldering aid provides for angular motion, such that any seam of the shade may be held in a horizontal position. The soldering aid also provides for rotating motion, such that the lamp shade may be rotated to a next seam.
