Heat the tube near the collar with a hairdryer set to high heat. Maybe expanding the metal will loosen it some.
I'm assuming it is similar to the lamps I have, a three-piece pole that screws together. On mine, the individual tubes have threads on both ends, and screw onto the brass fittings between.
Thanks for the suggestions, but already been tried. Even had the channel lock pliers (though I hadn't realized they were called that.)
And yep, it's that kind of lamp.
I give up. I'm going to go dye my hair.
Man, if this didn't scream child hazard, I'd suggest Gud build one right away.
Well, sir, there's nothing on earth
Like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car monorail!
What'd I say?
I'm going to guess... no more than three degrees of separation between beth b and Matt and the monorail builders. Possibly just two.
I was thinking the same thing, JZ.
I read/heard that TJ's has good frozen dough, but I didn't see any last time I was there. However, I will set a weekend goal of making some wholewheat pizza dough with peanut oil. It's nummy.
They have excellent fresh dough (including a whole wheat one) near the cheeses usually. Freezes like a dream.
We've looked for the monorail builders, but haven't found them. I'll have to ask around again
