Not sure. I have used it for electrical soldering and some jewelry soldering. have to be careful burns a little hot.

Should do the job, may take a little longer to heat up what you are going to braze due to the smaller flame but think it'll be fine.

I drilled a hole in my workbench and put brass bushing in it for the pivot and it works perfectly. I have not had a problem the lamp holding position. Good value, works well.

I'm sorry to say that I don't know for sure. My lamp shade has a couple of marks that look like brush strokes from when the frame was painted. It's kind of a sloppy job. Unfortunately, it isn't the quality of workmanship I expected and weighing my options, I chose to live with it as opposed to getting an exchange. Maybe you could try furniture touch up pens /sticks?

I think I was initially confused too. The lamp is not that fragile so don't worry. Feed the wire through and you may have to pull the lamp shade a little forcefully to get it to clip on the metal piece but it will stretch!

That depends more on the lampshade you choose. A bulb with a standard base fits in it. I used a 40W bulb because that's what was safe to use with the lampshade I chose.

Any kind of lamp base you want but you'll have to remove the wire that holds the lamp shade.

That might be too small. If the shade can slide over the bulb socket it will fit. I cut the wire on my shade to go over the bulb socket. There are pictures in the comments.

As slinky describes, my shade like this has a three bar ring at top small circle with a threaded area to which you can easily attach a regular lamp harp. I use a CFL bulb with it with no trouble.

The lamp shade wouldn't go over it, you would take that portion off to attach this one. Take a look at the base where the 4 arms join and make sure you can take that off. Ours was an older version with a single glass dome light and it fit just fine. I'm assuming yours would work well. If not, Amazon is usually great about returns as long as it's done right away. Hopefully this helps alittle.

I used a medium size lamp shade for my project. A large would work well too. A small would not cover the bulb socket and base.

Depends. For melting. it is probably limited to an oz or 2. For traditional silver brazing fabrication, the larger tips are well within the range of normal work on belt buckle size jobs. Even larger tips are available.

You can easily poke a needle through the fabric of this lamp shade. There are inner and outer layers of fabric and at the top and bottom there is about a 1/4" of space between them but this flattens out if you smooth your hand over it.

I measure about 5.5 inches from the top of the socket to the top of the shade. I have a short LED bulb in it. It could accommodate a larger bulb. Looks like it could easily accommodate one of those spiral CFC bulbs.

I purchased Ameriflame to braze copper, but it has performed well in light welding. It has completely satisfiedall my brazing and welding needs. Good Luck

Measure the inside diameter of the lamp fixture where the glass lamp shade would fit into. If it is about 2 1/4 inches, the glass lamp shade will fit.

I don't know I throgh the lamp with the lampshade away, the lampshade fell apart about a week after I bought it.

I have never bought a lamp kit with instructions. There are several books published on the subject however which can be helpful in showing assembly and creative tips.
