Something like this, gutted and converted

Custom builds plus shipping prevent me from considering having something made.  Your description gives me some ideas though.  Such as converting a cabinet and using can lights, along with metal stove rings to seat the bottles on.

Hi!

The base was built by a dear friend who does custom furniture/woodwork. I'd have to ask him specifically what he did to wire everything up underneath, but it has definitely been a life saver for my "zen zone."

Three of the lights have dimmers, there are small vents in the front, and the top opens up for easy bulb changes. Since I make most of my lamps with liquor bottles and other thick-glass vessels, they tend to require high-wattage bulbs, otherwise I imagine he could make something smaller for the 15-30w lamps. 

I know he's always looking for new and challenging projects, so if you're interested in a custom base for multiple lamps, feel free to give me a shout and I'd be happy to make that connection!

Um yeah, so, WOW!  I like these a lot!

I am most intrigued by the light table/base set up too.  If you could detail how you set that up, that would be great!
