I just measured the opening in my globe and it is also 5 1/4". It sits perfectly on the coupler. Take your globe to HD and try it out. I spent so much time in the PVC aisle trying different things that I was getting funny looks. Maybe you will also find something else that meets your needs.

bgula,

I purchased a new 12" globe this past Friday (I thought I had previously purchased a 16" globe, my bad) and I noticed it didn't sit quite right on the 4" coupler. Looking closely I could see that the hole was slightly out of round and about 1/8" larger than the other globe I have. Now I see what you were talking about. Obviously there is no standard hole opening with the globes. I'll have to take the 4" coupler to the globe section and try it out on different globes until I find a good one.

Do most of you paint your post black? I was thinking of painting mine Mickey colors red, yellow & black strips. Would this be to busy? Then I wanted to attach white mickey hands holding the musket mickey sign. Haven't figured this out exactly. Any opinions?

If you look back though this thread you'll see all sorts of decorating ideas. There's even a Pooh lamp.

I wanted hubby to attach a flag bracket to ours, but wasnt sure it would be to top heavy. Has anyone done this???

VACAMPER · 04-01-2008, 08:15 PM

You'll get the hang of it VAcamper.....great light!!!! Are those paper machet shoes? Too cool. I like that sign sitting on the sofa too!!!

VACAMPER · 04-01-2008, 08:55 PM

Thanks! Some harmlessly strange person made it for me.

Thanks for posting my picture. I told my husband you would when you saw that I couldn't figure it out.

The shoes are made out of styrofoam. We wanted to make Mickey hands to hold the Fort FIENDS sign but they didn't turn out. We don't have time to redo them since we're leaving Fri. AM. for the fort.

that is some lamp!! cool!!

PolynesianPixie · 04-02-2008, 10:43 AM

Wow! That looks great!

OT: I must also tell you that you are extremely intelligent having dark carpet in the house! Mine is polka dotted, and that wasn't done intentionally!

VACAMPER · 04-02-2008, 10:50 AM
