Folks -
Well, the lamp prototype is coming together - boy, this thing has a million
parts and a zillion edges.... it's a beauty, tho'.... I would like to post a
picture of it over in ABPW, but don't know if it's ethical to do so.... can
someone here help me out and tell me??? The design of the lamp is
copywritten by the owner, and I am working from his copywritten drawings and
photos. I would never produce the lamp in violation of the rightsholder,
but would like to post a pic, and am not sure if even that would be okay...
Anway, the prototype is made of Doug Fir and Claro Walnut, with a guilded
roof. If all goes well, I hope to produce them in lots of 10 to 50 at a
time. I already have dreams of jigs, dancing jigs, in my head!

You have purchased a license to make them?

Some of the 'fair use' exemptions in copyright law include:
"comment", "criticism", and 'news reporting'. It would seem
likely that your picture(s) of the development/assembly of
your item would fall under one or more of those categories.
Caution: if you are intending to build such objects -- from somebody
else's copyrighted plans -- for purposes *other* than your own
'personal use', then express permission from the copyright holder
_is_ required. "..produce them in lots of 10 to 50 at a time" *DOES*
look very much like other than for 'personal use'.
It should not be a problem. Would appreciate a pic that would load in
a reasonable time with a dialup connection.

I think John is working with the designer/copyright owner, if I'm not
mistaken...

Maybe, but I didn't get that impression. I'd like to hear the
whole story from him.

If he got the plans out of a bookor a magazine he almost certainly has
at least a license to make one for personal use.
